I took this shot near Mill City Nevada underneath the I-80 overpass at exit 149. There are probably at least 150 of these little mud swallow homes. I pulled over after passing underneath and spent 45 minutes or so, waiting the owners to return, they'd fly by, but wouldn't go in, and if any were inside, they wouldn't peek out. So, I stood directly underneath and took 30-40 pictures, some with lots of homes, and some like this, trying to get an interesting composition. Went with B&W, which isn't much different from the color anyway.
Isolation and bitter winters define Hazarajat villages like Qala-e Sabzi. But the harsh land is integral to this nomadic herder culture with deep roots in high pastures. "Koh-o mar-domon moya," a saying goes: "The mountains are our people." Qala-e Sabzi, Afghanistan. 2007

A woman rebuilds her mud home, after the devastating cyclone, in Nijhum dwip, a cluster of islands in the Bay of Bengal, on the south of Noakhali district. The 1991 cyclone was one of the deadliest tropical cyclones on record that struck Bangladesh. The cyclone hit the southeastern district of Chittagong on the night of 29th April with winds around 250 kilometers per hour. There was a 6 meters storm surge over a wide area, killing at least 138, 000 people and leaving as many as 10 million homeless. Chittagong, Bangladesh. 1991. Source: www.wikipedia.com

I met KeKe during my 6-month mission trip in Chambrun, Haiti. KeKe is one of the most outgoing and hysterical kids that I have ever met....and just a little mischievous. Reminds me a lot of myself when I was his age!
I posted this image on my Flickr several months ago. One of my goals for 2013 is to re-edit many (if not all) of the images that you see on my Flickr. I am experimenting with various new editing techniques that I have acquired since I first posted these images.
Two young sisters napping in the shade on a typical hot summer day in Haiti. Kris Kapab (translated as "Christ Can" in English) is the older sister of the two. Both children, as well as their brother, were always fun to hang out and play with in the village.
This is a reminder for me to not take for granted many things that we are blessed with in America and other developed nations.
I met Richardson during my 6-month mission trip in Chambrun, Haiti. I was able to spend a good amount of time with Richardson and his friends...playing soccer, hide-and-seek, and simply running around the village. I feel as though this image captures the fierceness that this young boy possesses; a characteristic familiar to many Haitian people.
