Upholding universal values and the common ground beneath our feet
 
No one benefits from looking down on those less fortunate.  Yet this behavior ensnares
so many of us from time to time—possibly a hard-wired tendency of humanity.
 
But why not encourage, as a great president termed it, the better angels of our nature?  Seeing for Ourselves at seeingforourselves.org aims to reduce perceived differences among us and promote solidarity with others riding this blue planet, through the mechanism of participatory photography.
 
Providing the tools, training, and global outreach to those marginalized in our image-dominated culture so they take charge of their own public narrative forms our mission.
