some times i like to get fancy

Gabe Baldwin

In the corner portrait of polevaulter Gabe Baldwin. It could have been better, but it could have been worse. For those curious, it was shoot on a cloudy day on tungsten white balance and with pink and orange gells on a strobe. Some times i like to get fancy.

a little track and swimming

I miss the rains down in Africa

I've been back in the states for a little under a week now, after a handful of weeks in Zambia. Thanks to all those who sent emails of support and encouragement while we were there. I will post a more in-depth explanation later of everything we did, but I'm in a bit of a rush right now. Sorry.

As for the photo, this was taken in the shanty town Buseko in northwest lusaka. The photo is not that good, but i just wanted to show what many people are living in. We had gone there to talk to a family that lived there. We were told we would be OK to go to their home, but when we got there, the "mayor" of the town brought a large group and basically told us that we should leave. I was not able to shoot pretty much anything, and i really wish i could have had time to do some work. The only photos i took there were basic pray and spray, shoot from the hip type, and it was only about 20 images total.
