Earth’s Frontline Guardians of Gaia: The Unseen Eco-Warriors

In search of shelter, I spent several days and nights at Olusosun Landfill, the largest dumpsite in Africa.

Congo: In the Heart of a Giant
The Congo has a vast, layered story. My journey there began in 1980 when it was Zaire—a land ruled by President Mobutu.

This was the same Zaire where 1974 Mobutu etched Kinshasa into history with the “Rumble in the Jungle,” the legendary fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. Even today, mention... Read More
Mushroom Magic
Of all our senses, sight is the most closely related to perception. "Why mushrooms"? They are a "Symbol of Imagination". They are "Visual Stimuli".
