day camp

a different kind of camp than the one us ex-girl-and-boy-scouts are used to, but still lots to do and see...i've described the agp camps already in another entry, but i wanted to include some of the most recent shots i took at them.

natural lighting wins. it ended up with such a red glow, but i really like the contrast of the red tones and her blue salwar suit.

concentrating--especially the girl in the middle, her eyes are so intense.

we interviewed this young mother before we knew she would be in the camp. i honestly think she is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen--just an incredible smile and it is so evident that she absolutely adores her (adorable) baby girl.

because the camp was held at a school, there were always kids running about. im not nearly as exciting as, say, our blonde-haired, over 6' friend Sander...but still they find me fun enough as a foreigner. these kids were so great, wanting to know my name and giggling loads.

patient baby, waiting for camp to be over.

another young mother. i think there's such grace in her pose, if a little longing. i'm riveted by some of the emotions written on their faces, and i honestly can spend minutes staring at these pictures, trying to figure out what they're saying.

if you noticed, i said earlier i was leaving at 11 am, and it's already 11:30 am now. it's been raining, yesterday and today, so guess what? both the recruitment drive AND the hiv/aids workshop has been postponed. turns out college students rarely, rarely go to class at all when it rains, so...we would have no audience at either.

cornell has a lot to learn from india. i think if we followed suit, i would maybe go to 5% of my classes...
