i am crying. i guess i didn't realize how much my heart is in this work. i'm incredibly honored. Our World Insideout : Brazil has been awarded a silver in this years px3 competition. i may just be on my way to france soon!

"Px3 asked each judge to use the same criteria when reviewing the photographs: originality, creativity, excellence of execution, and overall impact. The identity of all photographers is not shown during the voting process to insure fairness and the integrity of the competition."

thank you dearly to all of you who supporter me via Kickstarter, & to those from around the US, Central America and all over Brazil that made this possible. my dreams just got bigger, and very much because of you….  

Our World Insideout is currently working in conjunction with a Rio based organization, Chiq da Silva, to project the imagery on the side of the most popular squatted government building. The goal is to raise awareness & the necessary funds to finally build the first centralized urban public housing in Rio. In addition the documentary is in it's final stage of subtitling!!! thank you Isabela Alzuguir!

Spread the word. If you'd like to be involved, with the Chicago portion, I am currently looking for a story to cover & submit to two editors. I am excited to work towards awareness & change in my own hometown. Please contact me here if you have a story to share: alyssa@ourworldinsideout.com
