One of the coolest on-going assignments I have is working with World Relief shooting refugees who have just come from their own countries to now live in ours. There is a lot happening in this whole process…from airport pickups to moving into and furnishing new apartments, to learning English and how things work in America. It’s all fascinating. Here is a look into a recent shoot in Nashville.
Seems like the work is getting used…and that’s good. Here are some photos I’ve received recently of photographs being used in some of my client’s corporate offices:

Third shoot in Ethiopia this year. What can I say? The coffee–and the country–never gets old, that’s for sure. Here are a few selects:
They’re not off to a real fast start, but this year’s version of the Colorado College Tiger Hockey Team is headed in a good direction. For the past several years I’ve shot the home games when not on assignment with my “day” job.
I’ve had a great time, and love to practice my craft under different conditions than I am used to, as well as get in some time watching great college hockey. Go Tigers!
After like 40 trips to Africa over the last 10 years, I’m now starting to revisit countries–some several times now–and even revisit places. Like northern Uganda: I’ve been to Gulu and places north in this country more than just a few times. But every time is wonderful. This trip was to visit with refugees coming into Adjumani from South Sudan and how Medical Teams International is providing great care for them. I witnessed a live birth, among other things, and saw life in a refugee camp in a whole new way…
One of the best parts of the trip? Getting chauffeured around Uganda by the one and only Daniel Ward, seen here admiring the Nile River just above the famous Murchison Falls. Definitely a must see if you ever find your self in Uganda.
