Congratulations. Looks like it was a great talk, and when I'm near a computer, will take a gander at the other media you uploaded. But seriously, congratulations and I can't wait to see even better things happen for you.

Adri you're such an inspiration for us not-young-enough-not-old-enough!
Incidentally, I borrowed this book from my school library "Shooting under fire" by Peter Howe telling the stories of 10 of the greatest war photographers. And James Nachtwey is one of the 10! I'll be reading on his chapter after I'm done commenting here.

"...money is best made doing the things you love." and "Don’t waste your time living other people’s dreams for you." That is so true. Inspiring post.

Pity I didn't attend villagetalk, but this blog entry is an inspiration nonetheless.
What I find most admirable is the positive approach you take, with no negativity towards any other paths people choose. You don't brand your friends who do go to work for banks 'sellouts' or anything like that. Instead, you encourage everyone to think about what they love and go out and do it. Bravo!

that was very inspiring, an impetus to get out to live my own dreams. it's a little like paul coelho's 'the alchemist', seeking your personal legends. congrats on your nat geo gig, look forward to reading more of your works and seeing your pictures

Very inspiring article! Wishing you all the very best, and hoping you inspire more people to follow their dreams...
Hi their your article was like looking into eyes of my loved one so comforting as if its saing i am with you .For few days i am lill fed up with my life and the way its moving .I wanted to become an actor or an writer or an director or a poet but look what have i chosen for my self a 9 to 6 job making my all talent go drain i spend my all energy in selling and making presentation or following my boss instruction or thinking of becoming MD or VP .why? i don't know or may be because i got married two years back and have to sustain in Mumbai paying rent elect bill and so on and so forth also have dream of owing a house a car and many other things that can give me an my wife a comfortable life and may kid who still waiting for his turn to enjoy his life some where in heaven and i know must be watching me what my pa is planing for me. These kind of articles act like ointment i am in a wrong shoes and i know it but unable to take any preemptive step because have to firm my root in Mumbai city every month trying to save money ......just leading life aimless reeding you exp was like living my dream i know i am sounding like a week man but i am not still my eyse sparkle when i get chance to speak in public and enjoy watching good movie and dreaming of being a director or actor of the movie i know this small peace of thought has not much meaning for others but each word is very important for me as i have pored my heart .So if you don't find any sense in this article just chill because i have used ionly my heart not mind Cheers Shakti 9930061358

Lmao. The most important ones of life's questions come from total nowheres! I could not have imagined it coming from a blog I found god knows how (not calling your blog a nowhere, forgive me)
I work at a business consultancy but I love travel, photography, people, places, music and books. Thanks for the 'What am I doing here?' bug you just gave me.
Btw, all your education is still chasing after you. You used 'opportunity cost' here. Lol.

:) Opportunity cost? Scarcely. More optimization. I can scarcely think of anything else that I could have used "my education" for!
