Day 121

el2_121

Few things...

I was digging through my Africa film while working on edits for it. I found this one of photographer and documentary film maker Ansley West with whom I worked while in Uganda. She was not only shooting (still and motion), but also volunteering for DIG.

Also, it was the Bici Coop grand opening tonight. I shot the goings on of part of the night. Perhaps one or two of those will surface.


I feel like I had something else but, per usual, I forgot.

Day 060

I didn't shoot a ton today, but it was snowy here (photo evidence to be had, if boring) and I had a very nerdy day, which totally works.

Day 059

Avoid morning sex, painted on a building. It makes zero percent sense to me, but I find it funny.

This is Peter, one of the volunteers at the Bodondo Clinic. I swear we went to other places. I just really dig this people.

Day 048

el2_048

Another group shot. This time at the home garden of one of the women who volunteers at the Allen Stone Clinic in Bujagali. This is her family, including kiddos, and parents. Her husband is not present, but it isn't because he died of AIDS, as is pretty common, sadly. In Sarah's case it is that he was pretty awful to her and their religious beliefs also were splitting and she couldn't be with him any more, so she packed up the kids and headed out. I have audio of her story somewhere. Talk about courage...she seems to have it (especially in her context)..

Day 045

Paul + Rose + their kids + other kids who stay at their orphange. This is a group shot in the road right after their church service the morning we left. Its funny how strange they look to me in clothes that aren't brown and ripped.

God. Look at this freaking hair. She is fully amazing and I think I love her. I think I derailed there at some point.

Shooting later tonight but it is totally a secret.

Day 042

This guy...this guy is sweaty. I'll note that not 10 feet from him was a kid working at the corn mill wearing a woolen beanie.


Shot today: Two 4x5 polaroids of Bob. I like them.

Day 032

el2_032 ruth

This is Ruth, one of the girls living at the orphanage where DIG has helped develop a garden. Said orphanage is called St. Paul & Rose after the husband/wife team who run it and who have four kids of their own mixed in with the family—which is how they really live...as a family. All told 26 people sleep in their tiny little place, at least during the school year, all of whom are given year round farming education by Paul. He was telling me about how you can be educated fully in Uganda and still not ever find a job, so to that end he teaches all the kids things like agriculture, cooking, and crafts/handiwork so that they will always at least be able to take care of themselves and their families. Pretty freaking smart.

Ruth is striking.
