During a previous golf tournament, this young man was not too pleased with a shot.  He’s a  great golfer. one of the best in my neighborhood.  I think he has shot his age 5 times, a real feat. I never go around to posting the image but as they say “better late than never.”

mat

Photography by E.W. Faircloth

While in Burkina Faso we decided to bring back a mat for hot pots and plates.  It was handmade in Bobo Dioulasso and can be seen above.  Only a piece of it is shown because it was cropped for visual impact.

With SOPA/PIPA and other greedy corporate-sponsored legistlation making the rounds, I’ve decided to give away the above image for FREE!  If you can use it, you can have it.  I have the whole round mat in high resolution form, just comment on this blog with your email address and I’ll send it to you.

Cell Phone Are Everywhere

phone

One of the things most people in the city of Bobo Dioulasso can claim on par with other cites is the use of cell phones. They are everywhere.  I guess it make sense as it’s much easier to put up one cell tower than wire an entire city using telephone poles or fiber cable.

The cellular market is huge in Africa.  You can buy minutes from your neighor in many cases.

The First New Car

Keys to a new car.

Do you remember your first new car?

The driver is the oldest  of Carol and Jon Falk’s 9 grandchildren. Grandmom is outside the window and, yes, Pop Pop took these pictures.

You’ve seen pictures of other grandchildren belonging to Carol and Jon on this blog.  Gabe and Zoie were the most recent.

The first grandchild is now entering college.  Since she will need to commute to a nearby university, guess who bought her a new car?

Maybe I can get them to adopt me:)

Actually, Jon gave me my first photography job over 40 years ago.  At the time I was in love with photography but had to keep my day job, which was totally unrelated to photography. With Jon’s help and tutoring I was able to start working full time a newspaper as a photojournalist.

They Are Under Your Feet

I don’t think you have to travel far to make interesting pictures.  Yes, you can go to flower shows, places where wild horses roam, tropical forests, and such but there are many opportunities near your own home.  You just have to look around.

Walking around a construction site near me I saw the gravel/stones seen above.

While you may not want a 16 x 20 of it on your wall, a graphics designer would find many uses for it.
