The Journey Begins – Part IV
Click on Kathy’s name below to watch the video over on Facebook! August 6, 2015 Totally surreal: visiting the house chosen to represent our home in 1990– and having the lovely owner greet me in a camouflage jacket similar to one of Dan’s jackets that I wore to his Celebration of Life on the Ngong […]
The Journey Begins – Part III
Click on Kathy’s name below to watch the video over on Facebook! August 6, 2015 My first recce in downtown Joburg with our Journey crew plotting a crane shot with director Bronwen Hughes on fire in the middle of the swirl. Somehow out of chaos a movie is born.

The Journey Begins – Part II

This day to rep our red, white and blue represents so much more […]
Tiyeo’s First News Story
One day while Rachel and I were helping carry cement blocks in Grippis, I started talking with Tiyeo, a senior in high school, about her dream of becoming a journalist. Having majored in Journalism myself, I couldn’t help but offer to bring my camera the next day to film Tiyeo’s very first newscast. It is definitely a […]
We Are All the Same
When I landed in Zambia, I knew that I didn’t have any time to waste. I had one week. Seven days. 168 hours to soak up every moment, every person, and every sight. Jet lag – all I can say is… It was one action-packed week. One thing that Rachel loves to do is spoil her Zambian […]
No WiFi? No problem
It’s probably not a surprise to anyone that WiFi is hard to come by in Africa. Instead of searching for internet all week, I figured Dan’s advice would be to adventure now and blog later. So that’s what I did. Before I go on about the people, food, animals and my experiences in Zambia, I figure […]
