Harriet’s husband came home drunk and hit her in the back of the head with a panga for no reason.

Dennis was an outwardly very happy 14 year old boy but his music was so sad and beautiful.

I’m sitting at JFK waiting for my flight to Syracuse. The picture below is what I looked like after motorcycling over 100km with George on dusty roads in Northern Uganda. It was taken on my second to last day in the North.

I had the pleasure of traveling with a wonderful Danish family for 3 days and 2 nights while taking a safari to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest national park.  Pictured below is Morten and his daughter, Selma, while we traveled down the Nile River after seeing Murchison Falls.

While traveling with them I was reminded of the many memorable adventures I experienced with my own family while growing up, and I began to daydream about the countless travels Katie and I would experience with our own family one day.

I spent the last week traveling throughout Uganda. Now I am back in Lira and heading to Alebtong for 2 weeks where I will be teaching photography thanks to a generous donation by Fujifilm USA. February 16th I head back to America and I’m looking forward to seeing Katie, my family and friends, and starting a life in New York.
