Rwanda Wedding

Pheneas Karangwa, our valued intreperter on the Rwanda video gathering trip last October, sent us these photos to enjoy of his niece's wedding. Aline and Albert were wed on a very sunny Rwandan day which called for stylish and colorful umbrellas! Part of the tradition and ceremony was to serve eachother lemonade in a toast to open the reception. Weddings look different all over the world and the important thing is the couple gets married! This couple is off to a wonderful start!

Rwanda | On the Mend

For three weeks this month, I had the opportunity to travel and document some work in Rwanda, Africa. Rwanda is recovering from a genocide in 1994 that claimed one million lives in 100 days. In addition to the deaths, there were two million displaced and over 500,000 with disabilities. Most troubleing to me were the orphaned children and brutilized women.

I'm not going to go into a lot of details or give my opinion on the whole issue, but I am excited to see how well the country is recovering. Hutu prepertrators are being reconciled to their Tutsi victims, orphaned children needs are being met, people are meeting Jesus, and there is a lot of healing happening.


I had the opportunity to film several promos for a few non-profits that are working there. Specifically, First Presbyterian Church in Bellevue, WA has developed a "Center for Champions" which takes kids off the streets, teaches them life skills, catches them up to an approprate level of school and houses them. There are about three hundred kids in this particular program who otherwise would be living on the streets.



I spent some time documenting Jean McAllister and her work with street kids and networking ministries that work with them. There are about 15 groups she mentors and walks with in their work to reach these youth.

There were also micro-enterprise businesses set up to help the Rwandan's provide for themselves.

One in particular was basket weaving that is coordinated by Rwanda Baskets. These are amazingly colorful baskets that come in a variety of styles and the quality is exceptional.For more images, please follow this link: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=798856&l=1900e1026f&id=1050086961

All guests were able to have their photos taken in a private photo booth and then owner Marilee Kimball and her business partner with 321 Foto assembeled them into a trendy photo album that guests could sing at the reception. Wonderful idea and VERY FUN! I totally recommend a booth like this for events and weddings.

Costco 8mm & VHS Transfer to DVD

Clients have asked us many times if we could transfer their old home VHS tapes or Film Reels to DVD. We can, however the big box store Costco has a more affordable service than we do. Imagine that?!



So, we recommned this service everytime except when the client needs editing. The vendor Costco utilizes cannot do any editing of the footage like we can. It's a straight transfer which works for most people. If you want editing and a transfer, let us know.

Costco has a brochure for this service in their photo developing department and there is not a web page on their website for some reason. $19.99 for up to two tapes, two hours total on two DVD's. The Video Transfer Hotline is 866.463.7694.

Playing with Light

We've had quite a snowy winter for Seattle. This was taken just before Christmas when we had 10 days of snow in a row. We thought it would be fun to play with light in the snow and enjoy an adult snow cone!

The Web

This is the only way I think a spider web is beautiful; not in my house, early in the morning with dew on it. I took this in the beginning of winter when I was on a walk with my daughter.

Jackson's First Birthday!

Happy First Birthday to Jackson Gaines! This was a kickin' party for a one year old. We all had a blast, thanks for letting me join in the fun. Who knew a bouncy house would entertain the adults too?!
