Contract, Borders, and more



Thanks to everyone for your advice about my contract headache. I'll let you know how it turns out in the end. I've been playing more Mr. Mom these days with my older little boy out of preschool. My mother-in-law was here for a month, so that certainly gave me a lot of freedom, but she left yesterday; however, he returns to school tomorrow and the little one will start next month which means I'll have more free time to escape and do more on my projects.

I'm teaching another beginning photography class here for about two months starting tomorrow night, but if anything I've found that it helped me focus a bit more on what I was doing photographically. My borders project should start kicking in–the landmine project. I'm dependent of contact that I've made through NGO's who have finally returned from holiday (this city really sort of shuts down for about a month). I have a meeting next week.

Meanwhile, on my coastal erosion project, I've still been trying to gather sound and have a number of audio interviews I'd like to do as well as a handful of additional pictures and other elements. I have so many pictures now on this that I get a bit stressed out when I think about going through it again which I feel I should do although I've been editing as I go.

Sound






John gave me a a lot of useful advice yesterday as well as a few tips about sound yesterday in my tutorial. I plan on starting to do more sound on my beach erosion project on Maputo's marginal. I've done a bit using my Canon G10 which to my amateur ears sounds pretty good, but I will ultimately buy a better recorder, most likely the Zoom Handy H4 that Jono and Dean suggested. I'm not sure if I'll have to get a microphone with that but from what John, Ed Kashi and Paul have all said about getting a "good microphone," I imagine that I will probably have to get one.
