Comment
Every person has a unique story. Some are good and some are not. Nevertheless we learn from those stories and we see things in a different perspective. As a lifetime Nikon user, my goal is to capture those stories and show them to the world and bring awareness and inspire all of us to continue to do strive for the good of everyone regardless of the status, race or color. Thank you Nikon for giving me the opportunity to share to the whole world the journey of this man we call Uncle Pon-Pon.
