Iganga, Uganda.
I have spent the last two weeks in east Africa travelling and meeting people in Uganda and Kenya. It's been a lifechanging experience. No more, no less. Hopefully my images from this trip into another world (there is no other way of putting it really) will be able to convey some of that.
In rural Uganda people have very little experience of cameras. To put it mildly. If I wanted to get a portrait of someone the first couple of shots looked like the one on the left here. However by shot four or five things could look very different. As seen on the right. In this case I said, "Why do you look so serious?" And was greeted with a smile that would make the Joker envious.

Cottage by the Sea was established in 1890 to provide seaside holidays for convalescing children. Over time the emphasis has changed to providing programs for children marginalised for a range of reasons.

Gut Monkey's Leading X program facilitates life-changing experiences for adults in the bleeding disorders community. We canoed down the Green River in eastern Utah as it flows towards and joins the Colorado River. During our trip, the river was flowing at 15,000 cubic feet per second. When it was put in terms of a cubic foot being the size of a basketball, I was simply amazed! www.gutmonkey.com/leading-x
One-armed explorer John Wesley Powell led a couple of expeditions down these canyons nearly 150 years ago when he realized the value and beauty of the region. Without his life-long support of this area, many large cities in the southwest may not have flourished as they have.
Mary C. Rabbitt wrote about his motivation in the US Department of Interior's1969 publication of "The Colorado River Region and John Wesley Powell"
"Finally, he made up his mind. The region to the southwest was largely unexplored, represented on the Government maps as a blank. There were many and fabulous stories about the Colorado River which flowed through it, of explorers who had disappeared, of places where the river disappeared underground, and of great falls. The Indians were afraid of the river. They said that long ago a chief, who was mourning the death of his wife, had been taken by a god to visit her in the happier land where she then dwelled so that he would cease to mourn. The trail to this beautiful land was the canyon of the Colorado. On their return, lest others who were discontented with this life should attempt to reach heaven before their appointed time, the god had rolled a river into the gorge, a mad, raging stream that would engulf anyone who tried. But, Powell said, "the thought grew into my mind that the canyons of this region would be a book of revelations in the rock-leaved Bible of geology. The thought fructified, and I determined to read the book."

i feel like a flickr failure when i don't upload something at least once a week.
this is a really, really rough draft of a video i'm going to do when i get around to buying a new charger for my camcorder. filmed these clips with my built in webcam because i couldn't sleep last night, hahah. so i apologize for the poor quality.
i didn't realize the irony in the three books on my sidetable until after i filmed that shot.
1) a light in the attic- i've always loved shel silverstein. i think he's brilliant. whenever i read his books, i get ideas for writing. so it's kind of an inspirational book, although it's a children's book :P
2) invisible monsters by chuck palahniuk- this book is lifechanging. it made me think a lot and i think it changed the way i look at a lot of things. it's amazing. i've read it three times now
3) the holy bible- the only reason this is on my desk is because my dad's girlfriend bought it for me, haha. i'm not a religious person whatsoever. and if i were forced to choose a religion it would certainly not be christianity.
which is what makes
4) the little baby buddha so appropriate. if i did choose a religion, it would either be judaism or buddhism.
just a little something i thought i'd share :P

This was a pivotal level of relaxation I encountered having slvrbrboy1 with me this week. I've discovered things about myself and learned things about my friends that I would have never known without this visit happening. There are friendships, and then there are lifechanging friendships. Every friendship I have can easily become a lifechanger. Slvrbrboy1 has showed me how to truly be...

I was so overwhelmed by today's CSA pick-up, I couldn't focus -- literally (sry for the blurry photo).
This is our first year as members of the illustrious Caretaker Farm in Williamstown, MA. It's been a little bit lifechanging -- all of my CSA experiences so far have been urban, or semi-urban. This is a whole different game, and a plentiful one at that. This is about 2/3 of our weekly share. I think I must have walked back and forth, from the barn to the field, at least six times, totally in awe of the amount of food.
What's here, clockwise from top center:
- Red Boston lettuce
- Yukina (like tatsoi, maybe?)
- Mizuna
- Romaine (a stunning one, too -- wish it was in focus!)
- Bergamot, lemon balm, chives, winter savory, and lavender (pick-yr-own; and there was tons of other stuff!)
- Red head lettuce
- Boston lettuce
- Radishes
- Turnips
Not pictured (!):
- Spinach
- Mustard greens
- Bok choi
Stuff I didn't get because I was kind of hyperventilating:
- Rhubarb (already have 2 lbs. of our own in the fridge)
- Baby salad greens (ditto)
Needless to say, I just ate an enormous salad for lunch!
