前言：

　　亚历克夏基金会提倡运用新闻摄影的力量，揭露社会不公，尊重历史，铭记历史，让我们认识到文化差异并不是我们的劣势,而是优势。

　　亚历克夏基金会通过助学金，奖学金和一些特殊资助项目，鼓励摄影师突破创新。每年，该基金会可为美国雪城大学专业摄影师提供15,000美元的赞助，在校生可享受学生学费减免，这也使得师生竞相角逐。世界各地的学生和专业摄影师都可参与其中。

　　曾几何时，许多媒体资源一度锐减，但亚历克夏基金会仍然坚定不移的支持院校和专业新闻摄影。我们坚信，没有什么比这种强大的力量更能拉近我们与世界的距离了。

　　The Alexia Foundation promotes the power of photojournalism to give voice to social injustice, to respect history lest we forget it and to understand cultural difference as our strength – not our weakness.

　　Through grants, scholarships and special projects, The Alexia Foundation supports photographers as agents for change. Each year the Foundation conducts a competition for student and professional photographers at Syracuse University. The professional grant is for $15,000 and the student receives a tuition paid semester at the Syracuse University campus in London. The competition is open to student and professional photographers throughout the world.

　　At a time when many other resources have dwindled, The Alexia Foundation remains unwavering in its commitment to support photojournalism on academic and professional levels. We strongly believe that there is no stronger force in bringing us closer to the world we inhabit.

　　作品简介：

　　家庭暴力是一种隐形的犯罪活动。我们仅能隔着墙听见一些声响，或是偶尔看见一些女人身上的伤痕，尽管她们通常会说这是撞到墙上或从楼梯上摔下来造成的。但这绝非小事，也不可能就此停止。家庭暴力不是一个简单的事件，而是由一系列事件组成的。从开始到发展到高潮，它对受害者、家人以及施暴者都会带来或多或少的影响。
Domestic violence is a largely invisible crime. We usually only hear it muffled through walls, and we usually only see it manifested in the faded yellow and purple bruises of a woman who "walked into a wall" or "fell down the stairs." It is rarely limited to one event, and it rarely stops. My project seeks to portray domestic abuse as a process, as opposed to a single incident, examining how a pattern of abuse develops and eventually crests, as well as its short and long -term effects on victims, their families and their abusers.

　　作品简介：

　　在达卡贫民区、服装加工厂和购物中心，火灾的威胁无所不在。无论是人为的还是意外的，都对工人阶级造成了一定的伤害。由于城市发展过快，没有健全的防火措施，再加上官员腐败、违章建筑、商人唯利是图，这一切都使得工人的住处以及工作场所充满安全隐患。受影响最大的是孟加拉国的服装加工业。它作为孟加拉国最重要的支柱产业，每年出口收入超过190亿美元。然而，2005年以来，服装厂火灾已造成600余名工人丧生。

Both man-made and accidental fires are an omnipresent threat bringing death and injury to the working class communities of Dhaka in the slum, garment factories and the shopping malls. Corrupt officials who ignore building codes and greedy businessmen who bypass fire protection have both made home and work spaces death traps. Because the city has grown too quickly, lack of fire safety precaution is everywhere.
The impact, however, is most visible in the garment industry of Bangladesh, which is also the country's most successful business sector, earning $19 billion from exports last year alone. Factory fires have killed 600 garment workers since 2005.
