i’m back in uganda after almost two weeks in norway and sweden. it was definitely a worthwhile trip in terms of ski racing photography and maintaining my contact to the nordic ski world. i had more tourist time than last year’s trip, too, so i got to see some good sights in oslo and stockholm. […]

last king of scotland premiered in uganda right around the time seth arrived in town…about 5 weeks ago. it was a big deal - forest whittaker was here, there was a red carpet at garden city. we didn’t have enough connections - although we do know the bbc correspondent - to get us […]

this happened in december, but it was just before our trip to rwanda, so it got lost in the shuffle of christmas, travel, guests and gorillas. it’s probably the story that i tell the most here, though, (now eclipsed by bin laden’s urine-mud balls) so i should get around to blogging it.

i have started taking on some photo and design projects. it’s nice to get some income (new lens, trip to scandinavia) and i imagine that international experience will look ok on the CV and help round out the portfolio when/if i apply for photo jobs. really though, it’s just a big learning experience all around.
