photography for wapumbavu (fools)...like me!

I just finished an online photography class for beginners and it was still above my head. That makes me sad, huh? But alas I am committed to learn more and grow in my ability to document my beautiful family's journey and the amazing part of the world in which we live. So, I try even in my complete imbecile-dom and apparent mind block in learning all photography terms (can't I just say it looks "pretty":) It will take me months to really learn everything in the 4 week course and I have yet again upped my weird Mzungu stock (is that even possible anymore?) by toting around my notes from class and searching through them as I try to take pictures. My last assignment was fun as I had to document and photograph the words "red" and "happy." It was also great to have a theme...try it and report back! Here are my favorite shots.....
Red.

red meat, doors, and kanga (by the end of the day the meat is more grayish to be fair)

tungulay.

Happy. them and me.




and then just some ones from yesterday. A crew of screaming and excited watoto could not wait to show off the crab they found in our backyard. It was BIG people.


here is to more happy shooting.....
