Sunrise + Wires

I love mornings in the barrio.  The air is still cool (relatively) and the streets are quiet (relatively).  As the sun creeps in you can see the web of wires that is spun through through the barrio...(relatively) providing electricity.

Laundry Day

Well, the video quality is...shall I say..."dial-up quality".  Sorry.  But you can see laundry day at my house....with some Bryan Adams in the background (compliments of my neighbor...do they know I'm Canadian!?)

Dominos

Uno puede ver gente jugando dominos cada dia en el barrio.

Fotos con Fey

Yesterday, we got back on the photo-beat in the barrio.  It was great.  Well, truthfully, it can be overwhelming.  So much happening. Where to start?  So many requests for pictures...many cute faces cute attached to not-so-cute (sticky) fingers that seem magnetically drawn to cameras + lenses.  

This week I was touring the barrio with Fey.  Fey is Mr. Personality, Mr. Charisma and an awesome photographer.  His personality and creative imaging are a one-two punch when photographing.  I feel like I ride the Fey-wave as he strikes up countless conversations with no hint of pretense (the bling doesn't count).

When the photo crew goes out our hearts really are postured toward seeing God at work, enjoying His creation, and sharing His love. As we explore new ways of seeing and knowing, it is our prayer that the images and conversations  along the way will always point to Christ.

I invite you to remember this crew in prayer.  You can pray in so many ways.  That the images that are captured would make a special gift to one's home.  That the conversations that happen along the way would invite people to consider, perhaps in a new way, who Jesus is, what he has done and is doing.  That as we photograph we would not only see brokenness but God's redemptive work in lives, homes, and in our community. 

(More) Just Plain Cute

I think I could start a "cute face of the day" blog here in the barrio.  This little dude was a natural with the camera during yesterday's photo class.  We will be starting an online collection of images from photo class, TEARS ministry and barrio life.  It will be ready at the end of June.  The link will be posted here, you can browse...and even buy!  Stay tuned...

Just Plain Cool

Well, not sure how you feel about 50Cent but these guys looked pretty cool at church yesterday.
