Sunday

Today we met at 6:30 for a quick breakfast and then tour of the Obras (hospital where we are working).  There are hundreds of people here to get screened for possible surgery or other treatment. Many have walked 2-4 days to get here.  As soon as the tour was finished we began unpacking the supplies brought from home and setting up the 4 operating rooms for tomorrow. The medical personnel were busy from moment one screening patients for possible surgery.  The art team is doing a great job of keeping the children occupied.  What an amazing experience.  Wow!

Headed for Guatemala

I am leaving early in the morning to document the Medical Mission Foundation trip to Guatemala.  Taylor, my 16 year old daughter will accompany me, while I shoot surgeries, clinic visits etc.  She will be working in the art center to entertain the children who will be waiting for family or procedures of their own.  I will probably not update this blog but will be providing the imagery on the MMF blog.  I encourage you to check it often this week.

 I am including a couple of photos from our packing party.  We met a couple of weeks ago in the caves so that every person going on the trip could pack a 49lb. bag to take with us on the trip.  They are loaded with medical/surgical supplies and meds.

Beautiful Horses

Saturday we had the opportunity to shoot horses and their owners on a beautiful farm.  It was an amazing 400 acres east of KCI, beautiful rolling hills, ponds and historic barns.  Here is a quick triptych I put together as it really shows the connection between this lovely lady and her horse.
