New Friends

As I sit here at my computer in the US after only being in Peru hours ago, I'm the only one in the house. I feel lonely without my team or my new brothers and sisters in Arequipa who I bonded with and played futbol or volleyball with. 
It was warm and sunny in Arequipa with the kids and the team and while its drizzling and grey here in Philadelphia, I have plenty of photos and videos from the friendships formed and time spent with everyone at New Hope. I'm posting a video of my brother Juan Carlos who played me a song in spanish about being friends just before we boarded the bus. I have no deep thoughts to record about what the song means to me other than, the song and thought of Juan Carlos brings a great joy to my spirit and helps me realize this friendship is not over because we are now half way across the world, but rather as one person put on the trip, this is only the beginning and I can't wait to see him and all the kids at New Hope again.


As a photographer, I like to play a game with friends called the "Situation Game." Basically you give yourselves an emotion or situation to act out for the photo. The results are hilarious. Here are a few which Juan Carlos and I did. See if you can tell what we're doing.
