Khwisero

The book Khwisero was created over the 2011 summer as I traveled to Khwisero, Kenya as a member of Engineers Without Borders (also known as EWB). This book is a documentation of all the work EWB has done with schools in the Khwisero district. It contains portraits of all the head teachers of the schools EWB have implemented projects at. It also contains pictures of all the projects as well as the history of EWB’s work in Khwisero. The club can use the book for many purposes. They’ve already started to use it as a teaching tool for new members. The book was created in a platform that allows for additions to be added to the book by future members and the book can continue to be a valuable resource for the club as long as they see fit.

HELLO

Checking myself for sunburns - looking sharp

Here's a few of my digital images from my trip this summer. I was in the Khwisero district in Kenya for a month documenting EWB- MSU (Engineers Without Borders) work there over the past five years. I'm making a book for them. It was quite the experience. I learned a lot and grew as a photographer as well as a person. I used my digital mainly for my project and took my fun shots with my Yashica. Still gotta develop all that film!!! Feel free to tell me what you think.
