For a 22-year-old film student, Kevin Connolly already has quite a list of achievements. For one thing, he's travelled the world. For another, he's a well-regarded photographer whose work has been displayed at Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center.

He's also a professional skier with numerous medals to his credit. He's competed in the X Games, is working on a book, tours as a lecturer and will be the host of an upcoming documentary on the artists participating in the Olympic and Paralympic games in Beijing. He also happens to be a guy who was born without legs and uses his art to offer his unique perspective on his experience with disability.

Connolly's life and work have been featured on ABC's 20/20 and NPR, as well as in the Washington Post and the Christian Science Monitor, largely thank to his unique photo project, "The Rolling Exhibition."

Because of the agility and speed it provides him, Connolly prefers to use a skateboard over a wheelchair to get around. He says he finds it much easier to carry a backpack that way, although he has also noted in interviews that a wheelchair is much more convenient for cooking. After studying abroad in New Zealand, Connolly caught the travel bug and eventually visited 15 countries where he took more than 30,000 photos. The photos document one thing: the way people react to his disability with everything from curiosity to confusion.
