Hey, Augs!
Just thought I would inform you all that I am in Gettysberg!
I just got here from a 26 hour bus ride. We will be doing some sight seeing this weekend,and the March For Life is on Monday!
We will then head home and be back sometime Tuesday evening.
Hope you Augs all have a ballin' time in wherever your whereabouts are!

Well it feels like it has been quite a while since I have seen everyone. I hope everyone is great!

Right now I am on my way to Peoria, Illinois with some friends for a business conference and I am so excited! Thank goodness I write my own schedule for work, because I decided to give myself a five day weekend. (Thank goodness for this business so I am able to afford a five day weekend.)

Anyway nothing else is new with me. Working non-stop it seems like right now, but it will be worth it a couple years from now.
Happy 2012 Augs!

Hey Augies,
Made it back to the USA late last night. Long flights from Bishkek to London and London to Chicago have left my butt sore. School starts today so I have lots to do. It was a great trip and I'll have plenty of stories to tell when I see you all again. Glad to be back!

Hey Augies
Got back to civilization after a week and a half in a crazy wild coal mining town. Barely made it out without losing my mind. Here is a link to a blog post I wrote about it that should explain the place further. Flying back to USA in two days. Gonna spend the weekend sipping beer and editing photos. Hope all is well back home.

Hey Augies-
Halfway through my trip and feeling the pressure of getting all my work done. Very little time for play, but have been able to enjoy some Russian beers and delicious food. Was working on documenting some families in a squatter camp north of Bishkek but today I'm flying with another student and our NY Times photographer guy to a small town called Tash-Komur. Could potentially be there for the rest of the trip if we find a good story. We're going to be trying to document children working in coal mines up in the mountains. Should be beautiful but I'll miss hanging out with all my new Kyrgyz friends in Bishkek. New Years is the "big" holiday here and I guess Bishkek goes crazy with fireworks and parties, so I'm bummed that I'm going to miss that. Wish I had a few more weeks here, it is a very cool experience and despite being different from USA in many ways, I really like it here. People have been very kind and interesting. Keep an eye on that blog for more pictures to come in the next couple days. Hope you are all well.

Merry Christmas Augies! Missed you all last night. It is Christmas night here in Bishkek and our whole group is sitting around listening to Christmas music and drinking a few beers. We've all been hard at work so this is a nice break. Hope the festivities are going well back home. Love you all!!

We have a blog thing to keep people updated on what we're doing. We're way behind on it though but you can see some of our trip on it. http://unlphotojournalismkyrgyzstan.tumblr.com/

Hope to see you when I get back. Bones
