The Devil Came on Horseback

I just came in from watching The Devil Came on Horseback that was shown at the 27th Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax. The film exposes events taking place in Darfur that can only be described as horrific. Seen through the eyes of former U.S. Marine Captain Brian Steidle who was hired to be an official military observer and had access to parts of the country that no journalist or photographer could penetrate. Ultimately frustrated by the inaction of the international community, Steidle resigned and returned to the US to expose the images and stories of lives systematically destroyed.

This is a powerful film filled with shocking images of genocide. Sadly it seems the photographs that speak volumes have spoken them to deaf ears.

TrekLens

I've been a member of TrekLens for a number of years now and have enjoyed it. They recently added a slideshow viewer and allowed it to be linked off site. Here's mine with a few sample photos from my profile there.

Canoe Trip

Finally went on a much anticipated canoe trip with Andre Forget last weekend. I had a great time and wish I had done it sooner. This was shot by him with my P&S Panasonic TZ1.
