I wanna take your picture...

Its been three years since I spent a month in Kenya, four years since I was in Nairobi for three months. Since those days abroad, I have finished college, moved home, started working in the real world, paid off my school loans, and purchased a real camera. Now, I'm headed back to the Dark Continent; this time going to Uganda to spend time with my cousin and her husband at New Hope Uganda and helping out any which way I can.


Amazing as it seems, I finally have the airplane itinerary prepped and will be leaving for five weeks at New Hope on February 1, 2009.

Who woulda thunk it?

Of course, now I have only to reckon with the amazingly annoying details regarding finances.

Don't worry, I'm not here to ask for money. In fact, I'm offering my services! My photography is my joy and fun and I want to take your picture.

I want to come with you to the location of your choice and spend time with you, your family, your fiance, your husband, your wife, your friends, your children and, while laughing and having fun and playing around, I want to take your picture; lots and lots of pictures of you, in fact. After editing the pictures, I'll give you a CD of your images and - in exchange - you'll consider making a donation to my trip to Africa.

Asking for money is not my cup of tea, so I'm not. Instead, I ask you for the opportunity to photograph you. Granted, if you're absolutely dying to send me some pennies and dimes, I won't refuse you the privilege!

Please email me (jen.pinkerton@gmail.com) to set up a time.
