1000 Words: Introducing Mr. Love.
A few weeks ago my camera was stolen. The violation that I felt was a bit muted deal to the fact that it forced me to crack open my new camera and actually begin learning how to use it.
Conveniently, my friend Curtis Love, a member of our staff team from Jo’burg, wanted to send out postcards to potential donors as a part of his fundraising efforts. Here’s a bit of our early evening together standing on trains:
The Winner (for Curtis' donor purposes, that is).
My favorite, entitled 'Greek god.'
Big Wheels.
Trains = Epic images, always.
Everyone needs a Boy Band photo.

1000 Words: Symbolic Images.
How do you synthesize a year into 6 images? Bryan Ward asked us to reflect upon this impossible feat this morning in our Conversation, and then gave us an hour to pick a person, a thought, or an image (Of course I chose images!) to symbolize the year. It was a surprisingly difficult, yet meaningful task for me to complete! Much could be written about these images, and the stories behind the stories that the photos themselves tell, but that can come later. This is, in fact, a series dedicated to letting images tell the stories that words usually convey!
ORIENTATION
Our crew: A unique group of creative individuals who have grown into family this year.
LISTENING
Pressing in to hear the voice of God in culture, we visited Huis Judea, an organization working with a poor Afrikaner community in Pretoria.
SUBMERGING
3 days submerging in Soshanguve: A radically slow life of walking and sitting with the guys.
INVITING
An invitation for creative imagery (always within me) to ooze out.
CONTENDING
Contending for the hearts of my Hospice Care Workers through a fun photo shoot. Petunia Kabongo killing it.
CONTENDING, PART II
The best part of the Contending Posture.
IMAGINING
Meet your Imagination. It comes and goes, but you can always invite it back for a stay.

1000 Words: Spring Has Sprung.
Pink explosions in September precede the purple dominance of Jacaranda trees in October.
Don't lie. You want to jump in our pool.
Flowers viewed closely never cease to amaze.
Seems like everything is in bloom (and I walk in a cloud of fragrance) these days.
Beautiful isn't a strong enough word.
A local South African friend drove by as I was laying in the dirt trying to take this shot. He thought I was crazy.
Accidental dramatic shadowed backdrop for this shot. The flower was showing off!
