I've entered the "Name Your Dream Assignment" contest to win 50,000
dollars towards doing my dream photo assignment.  Entrants come up
with an idea and post it on the contest website.  The top 20 voted for
by the public will then be judged by their panel.  So, I am trying to
secure as many votes by the April 3rd, public voting deadline.

In short, my idea is to go and photograph Afghanistan's first men's
water polo team.  Their aim is to get a team trained and into the 2016
Olympics.  I believe there is a unique potential for great photographs
and stories which will also be of historic posterity for the nation.
I have been in contact with the head of the organization, and he
supports my bid to volunteer for them.

To vote for me go here:

Click on "PIC IT", register (doesn't cost anything) and make sure to
vote.

Last year, I went to Ghana to take photos for the non-profit, Women in
Progress.  You can see pics from my trip here:
