The Giving Lens’ Colby Brown Goes To The Philippines - Shows Why He’s The Real Deal

Figured in light of Colby Brown's impromptu brave decision to head down to the Philippines to help with the aftermath of this month's insanely devastating typhoon, this was a good time to re-share this. It’s an article I wrote about his philanthropic photographic organization, The Giving Lens. It originally appeared on Kotori Magazine, but his dedication to using his craft and his heart to lead his humanitarian-heavy path is freshly demonstrated with his recent move, so it seemed a good time to rehash it for those that may have missed it. 

Follow his exploits on his Facebook page, his Google+ page, his Twitter feed, and definitely check into his organization, The Giving Lens, at www.TheGivingLens.com

And click here for the article from earlier this year, The Giving Lens Gets Focused. Trust me, you're going to want to know about these guys if you don't already. These are the sorts of stories that restore hope in humanity's future.

The Giving Lens Gets Focused - Philanthropy and Photography Do Mix!

So I haven't written a proper article in quite some time, but The Giving Lens, an organization started by serial altruist photographer Colby Brown that mixes philanthropic pursuits with photography, inspired me intensely. For those of you who have known me for a long time, through starting Kotori Magazine back when print magazine were still a 'thing,' and whatever other crazy pursuits I've delved into over the years, this sort of work is the kind of thing that I hold dear to me and the very reason I wake up every day with a semblance of hope in me, so it was quite a treat to be introduced to The Giving Lens, Colby Brown, Kate Havercroft, and everything that they are doing. Truly inspirational.

Anyhow, thanks to Kotori for running the piece, click here to read it. Trust me, this is worth knowing about:
