more things
Посвящено стране: Кения


thanks for the positive feedback, dianne and joneses, about the photos. there's more trickling in, but all the internet connections are real slow here.
but there'll be more, in no particular order. someday i'll even touch them up and make them look decent. the ones that look a bit dark or a bit light i should be able to fix when i have time, thanks to the wonders of the digital age. they probably got that way because photoshop has silly defaults for generating jpegs from raws anyway. but i'll get off my soapbox.

i'd really like to thank Whoever It Was That Donated The Ukes. i don't know your name, just that you're a nice person that donated them. so, thanks. they continue to be a big hit with the students we're working with - a few people in each group want to - or already can - play guitar, but don't have access to one. the ukes are especially entertaining for them. not to mention educational.
so, thanks. i hope you find this.

and thanks to the Goldsmiths for sending us to Naivasha. Fish Eagle Inn is a great place to stay, and it was really neat to tour the farm and talk to the nurses there. thank you.

also, people who donated money and equiptment, thank you. our kenyan friends love their shinny new cameras and laptops. they're mastering everything at the speed of light, and i think they'll continue to produce a lot.

thanks to felix masi, who just left us about an hour ago - he's a photojournalist. i think you can check him out at www.voicelesschildren.org
anyway, he's been helping our photography group. giving us tips. helping us communicate with people and find our way around. and entertaining us. so, thanks for all your time.

and stan and dennis from nakuru. they've also mentored and guided us, spending a lot of our precious time helping jump work.

and other youth leaders here, like fred. he's the guy here in nairobi, and he's obviously the guiding force of jump nairobi.

so, thanks everyone. we're off early tomorrow to go safari our brains out. cant't wait.

oh, and i think we're going to the carnivore tonight. it's supposed to be really famous - some kind of restaurant with big game animals as food, cooked hibachi (sic?) style (right in front of you, that is).
it sould be neat. i pity our vegetarian - hopefully they'll have some celery.

remembering your manners
The uke guy's name is Gary White, I gave you his e-mail but you probably lost it. I will look to see if I have it. Everyone here (NC) is enjoying your blogs, ipods and pix.
Have lots of fun on safari, Check out the Olololo Escarpment if you get to the Western Mara. Take lots of pix, I'm curious as to how it's changed.
The tide is low, I'm going clamming.

Thanks for thanking people
Salama Alec,

I'm enjoying your pictures, and hungry for more. The reason mom wants pictures of the Oloololo Escarpment area (especially looking downhill from the gate) is that we lived there, in western Masai Mara, for over a year back in the late 70's. We've been back a couple of times, but not for more than a decade now. Out tents were just downhill from the park gate a couple of hundred yards, near the Masai bomas. Snap a few landscapes there if you get a chance. On safari, be especially careful not to photograph Masai or other people carrying spears without their permission!

Love,
Dad

oops
sorry, i just got back from the Mara. i missed your comment.
anyway, i have no idea where that place is - i'm sorry. i don't know if we were eastern or western or northern or southern... oopsie.
i didn't see anything named Oloololo that i remember, though.
guess we'll have to go back soon.
anyway, i didn't take any landscape shots because i wasn't confident that they'd work out... it looked good where we were, though. lots of grass and shrubs and stuff... got some lions and cheetahs, i think. i'll stick them online sometime.

Love digital photography!
You're doing such an amazing job! You must be in digital heaven! I hope I have a chance to see you before you head off to higher education. I'd love to hear what you have to say when you're home and this is all behind you. Aloha, and have a good flight home. -- Peggy
