October’s desktop comes from Ntungamo, Uganda where I just returned from yesterday. The landscape there was simply breathtaking… the green rolling hills resembled the highlands of Scotland (but without the miserable cold, wet rain!) Enjoy!

Greetings from Kigali, Rwanda!
For quite awhile, I’ve had September blocked off in my schedule as a month to be getting ready for the traveling I plan to do Oct – Dec. During this month, I have a huge list of things to do in preparation for being gone, website stuff to take care of, people to meet with etc… but then just a couple weeks ago I got word from Living Water International that they really needed me in Uganda in a matter of days. I decided to take it, uber last minute… booked the flight on Saturday and flew out Thursday.
This project has me going around to about 20 different school where Living Water has drilled to shoot videos of the progress and the impact of having clean water on these communities. All of the projects have been in/near Ntungamo, in far south Uganda.
I have pretty much completed my work here and it has been amazing to see the joy and happiness that something as simple as clean water can bring to people that lack it. This whole shoot has been motion, so I don’t have many actual stills to share, but I do have some frame grabs from the video clips…
We have been rolling around in Mac’s pretty sweet ‘94 Defender 90…we were bummed it was so dry, there’s no mud anywhere! Regardless, such an awesome ride! Mac shot a bunch of iPhone images long our journey as well… check them out on his blog.
Thanks to hearing about it from Donald Page I also recently got a GoPro (www.gopro.com) camera that is completely waterproof, sports action camera that comes with all sorts of different mounts. I used the suction cup mount to throw it up on the hood and get a timelapse of us driving to our different locations:
Thanks to the help from Youngblood (him and I below) and Mac… we finished pretty early… so today I’m looking into hiring a ranger to trek out into the bush to see the wild silverback gorillas… really hope it works out… could be some amazing images… Will check back in when I can! A lot going on these next few months so hopefully I’ll be updating more frequently!
Here’s September’s desktop… an image shot at sunrise over Santorini Island, Greece. If you ever get a chance to go here, do it. It’s definitely one of my favorite places in the world… they have red, white, and black beaches all on one tiny island just 12 mi long and about 1 mi wide. Awesome!

Sorry to be posting the August desktop so late!! I have been on the run since I left Dallas on August 1st… I put together this month’s desktop on the plane but just haven’t taken a second to sit down and post it! It comes from Lake Langano, Ethiopia… A friend of mine got married when I was there in April so I took a few images around the area for him… this was one of ‘em!
I also added a size specifically catered to iPhone (any generation) this month… Enjoy!

Tonight I experimented with a few different techniques in shooting fireworks… looking to create some more unorthodox pieces, rather than your traditional fireworks images… visual push-ups if you will (thanks Jay Maisel)
Happy 4th of July, enjoy!
July’s desktop comes straight from South Africa! When I was at the World Cup last week I did a series of abstract/fine art images of the amazing Soccer City Stadium in Joburg… I also thought it might be useful to have the tourney bracket/schedule for those of us that are following the games closely… and for those of you that aren’t so interested in futbol, I have a version without the bracket as well… Enjoy!
