These are absolutely wonderful photos — my favourites are the woman in profile smiling, and the two children sitting in school with the sun on their faces. Beautiful. Giles is very talented.
Just wonderfull Anna. The joy is evident...we dream of having our children travel a bit like that for a real education. I know you must be very grateful in your heart! warmly from Mary Brooke
Beautiful photos, however you refer to the country as west africa, what is quarter of the continent. Is there any reason, why you don’t share, where did they go? You know it’s quite insulting to the countries to generalize them this way. Many nations around the world fought for many years for their identity and they are proud of their countries and frankly don’t like to be referred in general form like that.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Some photographers use people as objects, but your son has not only retained their humanity but also captured the spirit of God in each of them. Wow.
Saying 'west Africa' is not any more insulting than it is to say someone spent time in western Europe, eastern Europe, or southeast Asia. It's a shame many people tend to overgeneralize about Africa and forget it includes over 50 countries with unique histories, but come on. A region of the continent is plenty valid in this case, when she isn't making any normative statements about what "African" countries are like.
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

These look like pictures from the National Geographic. What an excellent photographer Giles is!
These pictures may be more beuatiful than the first group. Maybe.

Such photos. To capture a kind and hopeful spirit amongst deprivation requires talent, and Giles has it.
