So I have been a terrible blogger lately and need to start getting back on the horse.  Something that has been bringing me down lately is that I still haven't put up that many images from my Tanzania trip.  I have been working with some incredible local partners about hopefully further publicizing this trip that I took with a group of other very talented wedding photographers.  We went to Tanzania to document and publicize Thirst Relief and the efforts they are taking to bring clean water to underdeveloped countries in the world.  I encourage everyone to check out the blog that was created for our trip.  It has been a bit static lately because we can't show the fashion images that were taken for the Grace Ormonde Wedding Style feature until the magazine is released in January. 

I have decided that at least for a period of time leading up to some more exciting news on the trip, I am going to try and blog at least one image from my experience every Tuesday or Thursday.  In addition, I'll try to give the story behind the image. 

As I was recently looking through some of the images, this was one that really stuck out to me.  We were visiting a church and a pastor who helps build the bio-sand filters that are used by Thirst Relief to supply clean water.  We went to his place, as he has the first well to supply clean water that was supported by Thirst Relief in Tanzania.  While viewing the Church we had some visitors (the kids would love to see what was going on when they saw the cameras) who seemed to be enjoying our company.  I was wanting to get a shot of this bike and the gridded window but it ended up becoming a very impromptu portrait that I have grown in love with.  Without further adieu, here it is.
