October has been a good month for me, particularly shooting-wise. I've had interesting assignments and lovely interactions with the folks I've met on them. (1 photo package) Ramadan is great! It's such a beautiful concept- purification, overcoming the desires of the body with the strength of the soul, allowing for the mind and heart to be fully focused on the love for and relationship with Allah

I highly reccomend it and as a solo traveler I felt totally comfortable everywhere I went.Here are some hi-lites.In the US we have the infamous mud-flap girl to keep the truckers company this is Guatemala's answer to that also commonly paired with a sticker exclaming "I love

Wow, I've been riding with a lot of cops lately and I have learned a few things I thought I'd share. 1. Don't assume the toughest looking cops are the meanest.They often have secret softie sides when you scratch the surface. I mentioned my cats and plans to buy them Christmas presents and Mr. Tough drove to the pet store, invited me to do my shopping, and called his wife to ask if he should

Today I shot Jesus (pronounced Hey-soos). He's 6. Isn't 6 cool?He's working on his English pronunciation at home and reading with help from some students at Saint Mary's College.I got a lot of stuff I liked and can't run it all so I thought "What the heck I'll put it on the website." In case you were confused this is my website NOT my "blog". I hate that word! What is it- bl og a bloody frog?

M., 18, couldn't believe it. She took the home pregnancy test 3 times. Still fighting the truth, hoping it was wrong- all three times, she went to the clinic. A strong positive. They told her the results were so clear the test finished in half its' normal time. She was pregnant. But this couldn't be, shouldn't be, she kept telling herself over and over. But she was. Pregnant. Somehow it

Today on NPR they had this excellent show, an interview with a dude from Lonely Planet about a book called "Seat of My Pants" or that. Oh, I am so sad for you if you missed it. Anyhow the book (and thus the interview) was about the crazy misadventures that happen when you go traveling that at the time can be a nightmare but later make the best stories.

Saturday Morning Nov. 26 2005I'm listening to the scanner, a kind of funny pursuit in my job. You listen, kind of drifting in and out of full attention, to the dispatcher communicating with the police and emergency crews all over the city. You can get kind of distracted if things get real routine . . Like a stretch of welfare checks or unwanted parties ( let me tell you many many parties are
