April 2009 — Present

Founder/Organizer
ONCE UPON A TIME ON PLANET EARTH
January 2007 — Present
A fast growing International Photographic Project, designed to explore the ordinariness of daily life, which apparently seems otherworldly to world leaders who are unable and/or unwilling to responsibly sit down at the negotiating table to settle their differences.
Once Upon a Time on Planet Earth is the brain-child of Ron Modro; an American Independent Journalist/Photographer currently living in Pennsylvania.
The belief that individual human beings can make a difference, gives life to this innovative project.Remembering a single moment in history is the very essence of this Global Photographic endeavor.

Producer/Director
Brotherly Love, A Vision of Hope
July 2008 — January 2009
“Brotherly Love, A Vision of Hope” is a bold and innovative documentary project, designed to bring those in the shadows of modern society into the light of recognition, understanding and acceptance. The belief that a society is judged by the way it treats its poor and helpless is the cornerstone of this multimedia essay.
With support and logistical assistance from Philadelphia Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, Photojournalist/Artist Modro, photographed and recorded the stories of those living in the shadows, to show the hardship of life on the streets, by going into the shelter system to tell their stories from their perspective.
The idea is to create a public multi-media exhibition using photographs and video to show the human side of life on the streets. Taking those in the shadows from a life of invisibility, to a life at the forefront of the movement to create change in the way America sees its poor and homeless.
