    photo: Ashley Jonathan ClementsToday I was poking around this little site and realized that I hadn't added Ashley Clements and Alyssa Bistonath to my blogroll, so I just fixed that.

    Ashley is a photographer and communications specialist as part of World Vision International's Global Rapid Response Team. Alyssa is a freelance photographer who does a lot of work with WVC, and whom was part of our team when we shot the DRTV last fall.

    Ashley regularly sees things most of us don't even know about, let alone see with our own eyes. For instance, have a look at his most recent entry, about the situation in north-west Yemen, called Returning from the Mouth of Hell. I've been impressed with his work for a while now, and I was impressed with him during a web chat he did with WVC last year.

    Alyssa's got a fantastic eye and is really good at talking with people in a way which draws out their stories. We use her work in a lot of the material we do for WV, and watching her work was a real treat. She's also a very grounded, very real person.

    Anyway, please drop by their places and look around.
