After a few wonderful days in Austin surrounded by friends, I’m headed out of the country yet again. Back to the warm weather of Guadalajara, Mexico. Mmmmm Guacamole. This city has really grown on me. I’ve been back several times this past year and each time I find new things to love about it. I’m going to get some great images to bring back and share with you!
I’ll write more from there.

I’m up in New York on a shoot this week and catching up with many friends at the same time. I am still absolutely in love with this city, but my feet might tell you differently at the moment.
Wanted to share a few photos that my friend Eric took on his roof in brooklyn yesterday – He had a new polaroid camera he was playing around with. He’s going to be famous. guaranteed.
Check out more of his work here: http://www.ericryananderson.com
( did i mention that he’s been published in national geographic ? )
I know I do much better behind the camera.. but I must say I adore polaroids!

I have a very dear friend named Sean who is in Eastern Congo right now meeting with Rebels leaders and Child Soldiers. He is braving some of the scariest known areas in all of Africa right now to find answers to so many of our questions.

A woman in a clinic on the outskirts of Kinshasa delivers baby Josh – a healthy baby boy. This clinic, with hardly any medical supplies, treats over 44 patients daily and delivers close to 100 babies per month. The clinic will get so packed that new mothers have to share a twin bed and sleep next to each other with their newborns. The area surrounding is very poor and many of the children will grow up on only get two meals per week. They are extremely malnourished causing their bellies to pop out and their hair to discolor.

after 42 hours of travel. I am finally back home safely in my house. It is so strange to be back in this land so far from what I was touched by in the Congo. I can’t wait to go back very very soon. I will keep you updated on that venture as it nears. For now, I must catch up on my sleep and jump back on the bandwagon here in America. I have many stories to edit and get to all of you. This time it will be video/photography media stories to share with you. I can’t wait to get out their voices! so you can hear straight from them.-Esther
