Wow! Now That's What I Call Photography!

First let me say that Facebook is an amazing connector of long lost friends, even as it is a massive Black Hole sucking in vast swaths of time. Here are some photos of Shahesha Lock who was a junior in high school when I went back to volunteer at my high school in Pakistan during the 1992-93 school year. Yeah, I actually was her husband Josh's house father for 6 weeks or so. Me as a house father at 23, now that's a scary thought. Actually, I did very well, thank you very much, and it was a lot of fun.

Oh, and I would highly recommend viewing the slideshow and looking at all of these as there are some amazing shots, especially of many of the lovely folk of Pakistan. At the very least, you have to go up to the shot of the goat wearing the sweater.

Oh, and Facebook is amazing. So much more visually pleasing than Myspace and so much better at creating social networks. Myspace still has an edge in sharing multimedia, music, videos, etc. if you don't mind the aesthetic nightmare in whic it is wrapped.

Correction
Shahesha informs me, via the aforementioned Facebook, that the photography is Josh's principally, though she does doe some protraiture.

"Goat on his Soapbox" is great! I really like "Curiosity" too. Too many gems to name.

These are some of the most moving photos I have ever seen. They are amazing.

wow, these are great. i especially like "dust" and "unsureness" (and that's just from looking at the first page of photos).
