HRUSO KIDS.

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

All of my friends from my recent trip have been asking for some photos so I decided I would post some of the kids in the village, Hruso, we were working with in Eastern Ethiopia.  Me and some of the other volunteers became human jungle gyms as we literally had kids hanging of our limbs pretty much 100% of the time. Playing with kids, building schools, not too shabby…..

EDITING!!!!!

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Well, I’m back from Africa. I am somewhat rid of jet lag, even though I was existing solely because of giant cans of Red Bull over the past few days.  Tonight was the first time I’ve got to sit down and even glimpse at some of the footage and photos from Africa, along with everything from Nick + Julia’s wedding yesterday.

All in all, I have about 137 GB of stuff to go through in the next few weeks. Needless to say, I’ll be posting lots on here in the next little while.

Masaii in Stone Town

My Masaii buddies in Stone Town, Zanzibar.  A lot of them come from their villages around Arusha to sell jewlery and try to make some money.  These guys were the funnest, soft spoken, cool guys I think I had met on my trip and we had a great time just chatting about our lives as I hung out in the shade with them to escape the mid-day heat.

Sunset Dhow on Zanzibar

Dhow at Sunset on Zanzibar

My laptop has basically run out of space from storing so many photos and videos so I am kind of overwhelmed as to what I should post up here today, my final full day in Zanzibar, but here is one shot from our Dhow trip on the coast of Zanzibar the other night. Man am I going to miss the light here.  Everyone photographer I know who has ever been here knows what I am talking about.  There is some indescribable beauty to it.
