Hi everyone! I'm just getting started on Xanga... Drop me a comment if you've got some ideas on what to do first - or just to say, "Hi!"

 AFRICA was an experience of a lifetime!  From the historical landmarks, the amazing strong culture differences, to the heart moving poverty.  Being there for the two weeks i was there, definitely had some strong effects on my views not only on Africa, but the difference in what me as an american sees as stress and worry compared to that of an average African.  The way they see the beauty in there land and culture is just awesome!

 

This is Getachew (which i pronounced get-at-you). An 7 year old kid that i met while shopping in the market.  This kid was awesome. Even though he was without his parents, he still was able to smile and joke and spoke pretty good English. I will miss this little guy  

 .

   No matter where you went the kids definitely stole the show

.This was shot from my hotel room in Adis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia

These were shot in the original capital of Ethiopia, Gondar.

IM IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING TOGETHER A PICTORIAL BOOK OF ALL THE HISTORICAL SITES I VISITED, WHICH WILL BE SUBMITTED IN THE WEDDING PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHERS INTERNATIONAL ALBUM CONTEST IN LAS VEGAS THIS MARCH.  IM PRETTY EXCITED TO SEE THE OUTCOME.  NO MATER WHAT THIS EXPERIENCE WILL LAST ME A LIFETIME.  BLESSING COME IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS!

 

 

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
