When I traveled to Uganda I worked with Chandler’s non-profit A River Blue, founded under the umbrella of Barefoot Workshops. Chandler is giving a lecture in Manhattan today that you do not want to miss. I will be in attendance so stop by, listen to Chandler’s great lecture, and say hello.

Timothy Archibald is a great photographer with a wealth of knowledge that he openly shares. Awhile back he made blog post that created dialogue about making personal work of your family and keeping it beautiful while different from other family work that has been created.

Tim is giving a lecture in San Francisco on October 9, 2009. Residing on the east coast basically eliminates my chances of being there but it’s where I would be if I was remotely close to San Francisco.
