It’s been a busy week back in Austin and a quick trip to Dallas over the weekend.

The website will be updated very shortly with new images from Africa and Egypt.. keep checking back.

I am back in Austin this next week editing in my cave and doing a few shoots. We just wrapped up a great shoot in NYC as well as attended the Charity Water Exhibit at Saks Fifth Avenue. I was so exciting to see Jean Bosco’s story on display for all to see. I kept trying to imagine what it would be like if he were next to me that night looking at himself 9 feet tall. You can see a wrap up of the night at this following link: http://www.charitywater.org/june10/index.htm

$140,000 was raised for clean water projects  and over 1200 people showed up 

More Wishing Well Africa stories soon to come.

If you are in New York City this week, I want to encourage you to come to this:

I have seen firsthand the affect that clean water has on a community in Africa. I have seen firsthand Charity Water fund a Water Well in Africa. I have drank the water from a new water well that is clean and clear from parasites and will be there for years and years to come. I encourage you to be a part of the change. The money doesn’t go to waste.. it doesn’t disappear. it changes lives. brings health. 

Click the above link for more information. I would love to see you there!
