A few Palestine uploads

July 10th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Featured, My Photos, The Traveling Photographer

Given that I have about 10,000 more photos to edit from my trip, I won’t be updating the blog every time I finish a new batch… That’s just a little too much. However, I did want to post about the most recent batch because it was from a day where I probably shot more than any other single day during my trip.

This batch of photos is from June 15th. You might remember from previous posts, that June 15th was our first day at New Askar Refugee Camp. The kids from the camp led us on a parade through the refugee camp to the cemetery where they layed wreaths at the graves of children who have recently been killed by the Israeli army. It was quite an incredible event.

Anyway, I’ve posted some photos below… some of which you may not have seen yet. The entire set of June 15th’s photos can be found here.

Our last day with the kids

June 25th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Featured, My Photos, The Traveling Photographer

Regretfully, today was our last day working with the kids. Tomorrow, we will be heading to the refugee camp but instead of working with the kids, we will have a farewell party. So, instead of signing up for only one section, I decided to wander around and take photos. I ended up taking about 1000 in a couple hours so the photos below are only a small excerpt…

On a side note, my blogging frequency may slow down even more in the next few days. For our last weekend in Palestine, our local hosts are taking us to Ramallah (where we may get to meet Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas), Bethlehem, and Hebron. I have already been to Ramallah but I have been dying to see Bethlehem and Hebron. I imagine we’ll be on a pretty tight schedule and I don’t know what the Internet situation will be like. Rest assured, though, once I am in one place at the beginning of next week (either Jerusalem or Ramallah), I will update the blog with some stories and photos.
