What’s the word?

…along with Sam Grausz, Sabrina Dorman, Josh Nathan, and, for a brief time, Anna Mullen — basically saving the world.  Since I still don’t really have a great answer to what exactly we did for our seven weeks over there, I figured I might just post a few photos…

The standard sunset shot.

Freetown street scene.

Susie, one of our friends domesticated pet deer (I’m not kidding).

Casa Amherst.

Our kitchen.

Gotta love the kids. That’s basically what the rest of these photos will be since they were so photogenic.

The view from our local cell tower.

A quiet moment while distributing rice.

A poda poda in Bunumbu, the sprawling metropolis three miles away from our village.

Triumphantly walking out of the village at the conclusion of our trip — a fitting end, no?

More online here if you care to look.

A few frames from the set-up of the freshman quad today:

As many of you know, I work as a photographer for the Public Affairs Office here at Amherst.  The office is currently working on the 2008-2008 college calendar; here are a few favorites of my own that I came across when looking at possibilities…
