A few from Colombia

These are a few shots from the trip. I'll post the rest on my website when I get back. If your monitor is as dark as the one I'm using right now, you might be able to see some of the pictures very well.
All the rest of the pictures can be seen on my website:

click on 'Digital Studio', click on 'HERE', and then find 'Barranquilla, Colombia 2007'

This was inside our hotel.

We saw these kids playing when we came out of our church service on Sunday. Notice they're barefoot....

One afternoon, it rained really hard and the street looked like a river. This little kid came over and played 'Slip and Slide' across the front porch.

This is Eduardo from the church in Buena Esperanza. One of my favorite shots.

Meet cute little Sarai. Another favorite of mine.

This shot is from the service in Sabanalarga, and I took it sitting among the kids. I spent a day with the medical team taking photographs. Here you can see the optical team praying with the translators before starting their day.







I think this might be my favorite shot from the whole trip.
These people were waiting in line to see the doctors on the medical team.

I love this picture.
Ted is a team member that paints each day while we talk to people. This little boy was intrigued.


Sam, our fearless leader!
This is what medical school does to you???

Extremes in Colombia

Saturday was a crazy day. I left Barranquilla, which is hot and very humid, and then ended up in Bogota where they had the worst hail storm in 30 years. I've never seen hail that big and I wasn't sure we would make it home without a cracked windshield or something.

I´m here!

I´m in Colombia and internet usage is sparse. There are many people trying to use internet so we have to take turns in the mornings and evenings. So I can´t write too much. We spent the day out in a village nearby and we invited many people to the local church. We´re exhausted now and looking forward to three more days of this.

I'll be gone....

I'm packed and ready to go to Colombia for two weeks, so updates will be sporadic at best. And yes, I'm taking a camera, of course.

You can leave me comments if you want!! I love getting them.

Little Charis

At less than a week of being in this world, she was cute and a sleepy little thing. She was easily content with a feeding and a warm body to hold her.

Christine and Daniel

Christine and Daniel had a beautiful wedding at the Briscoe Manor in Sugarland. Due to circumstances, I didn't shoot as much as I usually do because I had to take on the role of 'light assistant,' so I have mostly detail shots.
Sorry it's so short, I just have so many things to do before leaving on Saturday.
