Early morn... Sept 16th, 2010
I should be in bed, but I haven't posted from Mali yet and Calley asked me to put some photos up. I got a new lens for our fancy camera. So, I went out in town and tried to take some spy photos with the zoom lens while Calley was sleeping in last weekend. Apparently, a white dude with a small child and a huge camera is STILL conspicuous even at a considerable distance. I didn't get many natural, non-posing shots of people in action, in and around the Badalabougou market, but I still got some nice photos. The kids, as usual, always want to pose for a glamor shot.
I hope you like these shots!

The market in our corner of town, Badalabougou.
Hardcore.
I love the pose from the girl in the red pants.
Okay, I cut the top of her head off a bit, but I still love this photo.
Peek!
In the middle of the market.
Hey Dave and Angie, I'm not sure but there may be a Shaolin temple somewhere in Bamako. If there is... these kids would know where to find it.
