If you read UU's Facebook page with any regularity, you may recognize the name of contributor Ivan Yee Gwan Lo. Chicago Talks did an article about this Uptown resident/ humanitarian photographer, and it turns out that he not only travels the world to document the conditions people are experiencing in war-torn regions, but that he does so under some very challenging health issues that he himself experiences.
Definitely someone to get to know more about. Read "In the Blood: One Photographer’s Need to Go Around the Globe" and meet your neighbor.
Update: You can see Ivan's website and stunning samples of his work here, at www.ivanlo.com.
Great article! Thanks for posting.
