About Where I Am

I am still in Africa!  I will be returning home on Friday, but I thought you might enjoy reading this post about the work that is going on where I am at.

My friend Jen, who with her husband launched Ten Thousand Homes, was asked to guest blog on another cross-cultural worker's blog.  

Click HERE to see what she had to say about their life and work in South Africa.

We are off!  Our team is meeting at 1:45 to all go to the airport together, and we are leaving at 5pm.  We have a straight flight to Frankfurt, Germany and will have a 13 hour layover there. Hopefully we will find some fun things to do and see to wile away the hours.

We then board tomorrow evening a straight flight to Johannesburg, South Africa. When we arrive, we have a four hour van ride to where we will be staying and working.

I have a few blogs that I have post dated that will *magically* appear while I am gone, so check back!

See ya in two weeks!

Composition in Photography

For all you budding photographers out there, head on over to the Pioneer Woman's website.  She has a great post on "The Rule of Thirds" and why centering your subject in a photo is generally NOT the best way to frame a shot.

Click HERE and it will take you right to the post.  I found it really interesting because she takes the same photo and crops it many different ways to show the effect of composition on the overall feel of the photo. 

Enjoy!
