Photoshop Elements

I played around with a trial version of Photoshop Elements last week. I think it's a great program. However, after using CS3 for the past few months I find what I know/used to is what I want to stick with post-Salt.

The picture above wasn't the best one to use but it was fun to play around with. Anyone with a inner/outer plant geek in them the flower above is a lehua flower.

Need Magazine meets Bangladesh

Need Magazine recently posted a few of my pictures from Bangladesh. The photo essay is based on my time there as a volunteer with VSO and how the experience visiting Tala put me on the path I am now on.

The magazine's main focus is to "support humanitarian efforts". They do really great work.

A distant reminder

When I was in Bangladesh I wrote a blog post all about trash. The act of littering is one that has always, and will always, mystify me.

Crowds

I was digging around my photographs from Bangladesh and found this one that a good friend of mine took while a group of us were on a field visit during our first month with VSO. The image is stitched together and accurately show just how many people were around us while our bus back to Dhaka stopped for a quick break. We had walked just a few feet away to take some pictures of the nearby river. I was busy making adjustments to my camera when I turned around to see what must have been fifty or more people starring at us. Crowds like this are common thing no matter what the subject of focus is. Traveling just about anywhere in the developing world requires massive amounts of flexibility...and an equal amount of humor.
