Family Ties

I was taking photos and some video for the Spilling Hope campaign at Bethany Community Church and was just taking some portraits too. I really like the way that this couple interacted with each other and with me too. I just feel like his striking lines with her smile just really speak bounds about how they interact and the love they share.

Also, I'm really going to try to step up the posts on this blog. I have been posting every other week or so, but I share photos on Flickr almost daily. So, I'll try to put the best of my daily updloads onto this site too.

As part of the Bethany Community Church's Spilling Hope campaign, people were invited to enter into the way that water is used in partner communities in Uganda. After pumping water from a hand pump, clothes were washed by hand with soap and water and then hung out to dry. This little guy really got into the process and his mom really got into washing clothes by hand. She was hoping that this interest would carry over back home (my bet is that didn't happen).

This photo was also featured on the Seattlest blog as the photo of the day. Always fun to see my work going out in other places!
