I have the best job in the world

(Can we dispence with the obligatory dead blog apology? splendid.)
I appreciate that the title of this post may be a grand claim, but I assure you dear blog-readers, I do, in fact, have the best job in the world. Well, not a job exactly, more of a project. Or an adventure perhaps.
Here it is: I'm going to be spending the next 9 months or so traveling the globe, visiting amazing communities of Baha'is and taking photos. lots and lots of photos.
In fact, I've already started the trip and have really just been trying to figure out how to explain such a thing as being given your dream job. I didn't even really go looking for it. It just happened. I went from listless (some would say feckless) wandering image-maker... well, to a wandering image-maker with purpose. and plane tickets.
Anyway, this all kicked off a few weeks ago and now I'm in Istanbul, Turkey, stop number 1 on what promises to be a fairly epic, 19 stop tour of the globe.
The destinations will, for now, remain a well-guarded secret. But stay tuned for further updates. They will, hopefully, be forthcoming.
