  • "The guy with the camera is back", though I am only guessing at what he said.  I had little to do here, so I took a lot of photos of the people who worked in the field behind the camp.

    Somewhat of a national sport here. I like how this kite catches the late afternoon light at sunset.

  • Sunset, Persian Gulf, July 2005.  Very little processing, these are natural colors due to the dust/humidity.  Really amazing copper color on the water.

    A photo I previously wrote off as unsalvageable. It's not perfect, but it's so much better than the original RAW. Was using a soft focusing lens, along with low light, not a good combination. Despite sharpening, out of focus is out of focus, and I probably have recovered as much sharpness as I can get. Hopefully its not oversharpened.

    Fatigue

    This fellow spoke a little English, and we had a custom of walking from the gate and making small talk every morning while they were working at our camp. I sensed a great deal of curiosity about us (Americans in general) and he would ask me questions about life at home.
