Kuwayama is the co-founder of online photojournalists forum Lightstalkers, according to PDN, and he also launched Basetrack, a project that used Facebook and other social networks to share information about a battalion of Marines he and other photographers were embedded with in Afghanistan.

Kuwayama told PDN he will also work with Facebook-owned photo- and video-sharing network Instagram, adding:

For me, the most important aspect of my role is that I’m the internal advocate for photographers.
