This is our second term and one of my resolutions is to take more pictures. I realized, as I was putting together a presentation for a church during our furlough, that I was having to steal pictures of Papua New Guinea from others online. And I thought that was a tragedy since I like photography and I had just spent two years in Papua New Guinea myself. Why didn't I have more pictures? Part of the reason is that I'm a little shy, I'll admit it. And I hate putting myself in the center of attention, which is exactly what you do anytime you pull out a camera on a busy street. But so be it. Maybe photography will help me get out of my shell? This time around I will take more pictures and what's the fun of taking them if no one sees them? So here's my favorites from the past few weeks. Notice how many are of strangers on the street, which means I had to make as spectacle of myself. We'll see how long this resolution lasts.
If you're interested, the camera I've been using most is an OM Systems OM 5 Mark 2. It has a Micro Four Thirds camera that is small and weatherproof, which is perfect for dragging around a tropical island on a daily basis.
