Portraits

Through my travels with Rotary I have had the opportunity to photograph many wonderful and interesting people. Most of the travels have been on Polio Eradication Drives in India and Nigeria so many of the photos have that as a background story. There are also shots from my time as a GSE team leader to Bangladesh and on a water and sanitation trip to Guatemala. I also have a picture of tiny Finley and Ralph because they seemed to fit.
The locations of the photos are mixed up because the theme of the groupings are more important. I like to shot very close so that you the viewer are pulled into the image. Sit close.
The obvious theme is that these people are wonderful and beautiful to look at. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
The great music is from "Explosions in the Sky"

Storm cloud over Ft Collins
 |
Took this in the summer of 2008 at the same time that the tornados were wrecking havoc a few miles down the road in Windsor, Colorado. |
Children in a fishing village
First morning that we set out in the Sundarban we had toload up on fish and ammunition. We got a skiff from our boat and motored up a channel. We stopped at this village. The adults and children greeted us warmly and we began to realize this would be the case every where.
This is a very primitive village. The little electricity that they have comes from a small generator. The village is located at sea level, as is most of the country. Even though we are some hundred miles from the sea the tides bring the water level to just a few feet below the village. We all wondered what it was like here, for these children when a typhoon hits and the level of the ocean raises dramatically.
The Sundarban is a tidal swamp. The worlds largest Mangrove forest. Essentially a vast river delta, as is most of Bangladesh.
Convenience Store
We crossed the Ganges on our way to the Sundarban
on a gigantic ferry loaded with dozens of heavy duty
cargo trucks. We were on a first class bus from
Dhaka. We got out of the bus and squeezed down the
canyons between these vehicles, went up the thin stairs
to the observation deck where we had tea and could
purchased additional supplies.
Night traffic
Gulshan, a Dhaka, BD suburb, 'normal' traffic is so
congested that we rarely drive faster than 25mph.
That is why and it is because of, the types of transportation
that are the norm in this city. Additionally, because of
the speed of traffic, accidents are few and usually
not injurious to the drivers.
The lonely trip back

This fire fighting bomber is on it's return leg after dropping
a load of fire retardant on what would become the most
expensive fire ever fought in the state of Colorado. 167 homes lost, 0 lives lost!
