http://www.lightstalkers.org/jerryenglehart I am a dedicated, enthusiastic, and compassionate documentary photojournalist with a passion for war and conflict photography. I have witnessed first-hand how much, even a political strife, can burden a country and slowly trickle down the socioeconomic chain, robbing everyone along the way and substantially lowering the quality of life. I am eager to document these plights in society and hopefully opening individuals eyes-wide-shut mentality because they are living comfortable, whether it take me to national locations within the United States or internationally. James Nachteway is an idol of mine and his powerful images have only helped fuel my passion to document life's atrocities. The Cote d' Ivoire opened my eyes even more when I saw the effects of a booming economy coming to a stand-still. I was exposed to the debilitating effects of leprosy on individual's livelihood and social acceptance during my travels in the Cote d' Ivoire. With peace slowly making it's way back into the lives of the People in the Cote d' Ivoire, maybe there will be hope for all the people that have been neglected for the past 5 years. en-us Image feeds are temporarily unavailable due to heavy load on the Lightstalkers servers.
