well today starts my long journey to afghanistan for the next year or so. I know i have not been posting a lot and i am not sure if many of the people that watch me are on here much any more. In any case it may be a long time before this gets updated. as of now i will only have my Canon A1 with me but as the pay comes in i will hopefully be getting a new point and shoot and a DSLR. if McCurry's work is any indication i think that this may be a very fruitful photographic experience. adios for now.
