A Trainer's Tale
Greyhounds swarm Cory Owens for some water as he walks into the outdoor recreation area. Owens waters the dogs nearly four times a day. His weekend mornings usually start around 7 a.m. to let them out. He then doesn't leave until after midnight. The dogs demand a lot of Owens' time. He changes their beds, gives them baths, lets them outside for several hours a day for exercise and waters them. 'They are considered to be family and it's the same as any person would do for their kids,' he said.

Landmines
When conflicts end in Southeast Asia, the war torn countries are left littered with landmines and unexploded bombs. No infrastructure is established to rid the countries of these devestating devices and civilians pay the price. In central Vietnam, almost once a week, someone is killed or injured by an unexploded ordance or a landmine. In Cambodia more than 2 million landmines were placed indiscriminately during nearly two decades of civil war. On the Thai/Burma border, ethnic Burmese refugees flood into Thailand. Hundreds of them are landmine amputees.
The wars are long over, yet the killing of innocent civilians continues. As a photojournalist, I had the chance to witness the atrocities of war remnants and create a record of them. Without documentation, no on would know the crisis still rages through Southeast Asia. Photography is a great responsibility.

Unexploded bombs at a scrap metal junkyard near Dong Ha, Vietnam. Roughly 3 million landmines and between 350,000 and 800,000 tons of bombs dropped during the Vietnam War remain strewn across the small country. Scrap metal yards offer monetary compensation for any bit of metal regardless of condition. When an unexploded bomb is discovered, people are encouraged to not touch it and contact local authorities for its removal. The government does not offer a reward for reporting the findings. In a country suffering from extreme poverty, the risk of moving the bomb outweighs to benefit of calling someone else to retrieve it.
