my [click] life: Telling Stories Workshop - Cairo - Day 3

http://my-click-life.blogspot.com/2013/04/telling-stories-workshop-cairo-day-3.html

Every photographer's story is unique. Mine is still unfolding. Telling Stories Workshop - Cairo - Day 3. After a successful morning orienting the street kids to photography (with the same material we covered yesterday with the resident kids), we headed out with them to the Citadel. Once we made it to the entrance, however, spirits lagged. As it turns out,. In with my camera, we would all just go home. Ha! They obviously do not know about the iPhone 4S and it's marvelous picture-taking skills. Having thes...

Every photographer's story is unique. Mine is still unfolding. Telling Stories Workshop - Cairo - Day 4. Our fourth day we began the documentary portion of the class with the 4 resident boys. I had picked up some photo books of works by photographers such as Berenice Abbot. Our first discussion required them to choose a photo and using the clues in the photo make up a story about what they thought was happening in the photo. To introduce them to their assignment of documenting each other's day-to-day liv...

my [click] life: Haiti, November 2013

http://my-click-life.blogspot.com/2013/11/haiti-november-2013.html

Every photographer's story is unique. Mine is still unfolding. Haiti, November 2013. It is positively pouring as I write this. I'm sitting hunched over my laptop in a darkened room, on a simple wood-frame bed with a one-inch thick mattress. The rain is soothing. And the occasional drops penetrating the screened window tease my skin with its cool, cleansing qualities. Even as the plane touched down on the runway, my companion and I had exchanged quizzical glances — what, indeed, would we find here. Inside...

my [click] life: 7 July - New Delhi

http://my-click-life.blogspot.com/2012/07/7-july-new-delhi.html

Every photographer's story is unique. Mine is still unfolding. 7 July - New Delhi. Day one is usually for acclimation unless I'm on an assignment and schedules are tight. I can't remember the last time I exchanged foreign currency during my International travels. Airports all seem to have ATMs; I tend to have some currency on hand from previous trips; and the transaction fees from ATMS are often far less than exchange fees. 1 Ignore the stares and laughs of men. 6 Don't step in the mud. 7 When crossing t...

http://my-click-life.blogspot.com/2013/04/tellin-stories-workshop-cairo-day-1.html

Every photographer's story is unique. Mine is still unfolding. Telling Stories Workshop - Cairo - Day 1. Yesterday I left Leipzig in a literal fog and arrived in Cairo in a sandstorm. With special thanks to The Palmer Foundation. For funding the equipment and training, I have come to teach documentary photography to some street youth through the non-profit , FACE , as well as to train their staff in self-documenting the organization 's endeavors . Hala McIver, Director for FACE USA , and I. After a con-c...

Every photographer's story is unique. Mine is still unfolding. Making the most of weather. Valentine's Day. My preferred way to spend the afternoon/evening was to make the most of a sunny day, unusual snow accumulations for our area, and a unique location. I try everything when out shooting landscapes: lying down, standing, stooping, shooting into the sun, away from the sun, in the shadows . and often I am surprised by what I find back in the studio. Also, check out my flickr. Forum, I learned that Snow ...

Every photographer's story is unique. Mine is still unfolding. The Hidden Cost of Eco-Tourism. While poring through my photo library for a pending project, I came across these images from a past project in Uganda with Hurinet, a Human Rights organization. These are some of the faces of Eco-tourism gone wrong. Wife of the Tribal Leader sits by her doorway in the Nyakabungo settlement. Outside the Bwindi Forest. A Batwa woman nurses her child at the Rwamahano Settlement in Uganda. Forced from ancestral for...

Every photographer's story is unique. Mine is still unfolding. Sunday, Day Three. Heading into Nebraska around sunset, I drove through a large area which appeared to have been inundated with flood waters. in fact, part of the Interstate was closed, necessitating a detour. And without a Rand McNally, I was left to wonder if I were looking at the remnants of an overflowing river, excess rainfall, or the havoc wreaked by yet another dam. Saturday, Day 2. Lesson learned. When the GPS tells you that locat...
