More of Ecuador

03.13.10

After seeing the recent news about the tragedies in Haiti and Chilie, it really made me think back to my visit to Ecuador.  Today I want to share a couple more images from that amazing trip.

This first image is of a beautiful church that is right across the street from the Iguana park.

If you ever wondered what it looks like when you line up about 400 wheelchairs, just look at this image.

Some of the children we saw in Ecuador really touched our hearts.   When I saw the way the natural light was comming acrros this boys face and leaving part of him in shadow, it really touched me.  To me, it was a metaphor for how the poor in this country are partially seen, but yet so much of the poverty is also hidden in shadow.

Hello!

I hope everyone had a great holiday season!  All the best to everyone in 2010!  One of the projects I am working on is a series of images I am calling “Faces of Ecuador”    This is from a series of photos I captured while in Ecuador in November 2009.

Today, I am really happy to share the first two photos of the series.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Return from Ecuador

11.18.09

I have been away for the last 10 days in Ecuador with Rotary giving out wheel chairs to the needy.  I have many photos to process, but in the meantime, I thought I would show everyone what 300 wheelchairs looks like when they are all lined up!

It has been a while since I have had time to post photos as I have been out of town quite a bit. One of my friends on facebook suggested that I try taking some photos of architecture (Thanks Julie), so here is the result!
