Christmas Program

Last Tues. was the annual Christmas program at my 5yr. old's school. My wife and daughter are transfixed on the program.

It's one of the best Christmas events of the year.

Strong Hug

My son John likes to give a strong hug before he goes to bed. The stronger the hug, the more love behind it.
I like that.

Community Support

First Christian Church in Louisville, KY is reaching out to it's community by providing food for those who need it.

Once a month church volunteers rent a truck, drive across town to pick up a truckload of food from the Dare To Care food bank, unload, categorize, count, and bag it at the church, and then carry the food out to the vehicles of it's clients. FCC also provides school supplies to families, and will help provide Christmas presents to food pantry clients and their children.

It's a great practical way to help those in the community during these uncertain economic times.

Helping Hands

Did another EDGE photo shoot. Each pair of hands is holding something that relates to EDGE's outreach ministries.

Halloween Party At The Zoo

We had a great time at the annual Halloween Party at the Louisville Zoo. John was a transformer and Grace was Hannah Montana. I was the unbearably annoying paparazzi...

Princess

How much longer will my little girl be ok with using the Princess mirror hanging on her pink bedroom wall? I have a feeling it's days are numbered...

EDGE Water Conference 2008

I recently photographed the EDGE International Water Conference 2008. EDGE is an awesome organization comprised of singularly driven people working to provide clean drinking water to those in developing countries.

Here are some stats lifted from EDGE's website (edgeoutreach.com).

The World Health Organization says that 80% of all sickness in the world is attributable to unsafe water and inadequate sanitation.

"The World Bank is throwing billions of dollars at this problem. What we need is people giving $1,000 towards a village to solve the problem."

Peter Gleick, President of Pacific Institute, Author, The Worlds Water.

EDGE's PureWater PureLife is about hands-on training. We teach ordinary people, missionaries, mission teams, relief workers and students to test water, implement community health education programs, build mini water treatment plants, utilize electric pumps in the field, and repair hand pumps.

We realize the way to solve the world's water problems is not a single one. We believe we must be well equipped in a variety of areas to empower indigenous people to provide pure water for themselves.



Here are a few shots from the conference:
