Give the kid the camera

If you want a different perspective on life in the village, find an older kid and teach them to use your  camera and let them carry it around for you for few hours.


 

 










Today was the final day for the XRF at this village for exterior areas. The pattern in many of today's areas was higher concentrations in the shade and near the entry ways. The kids today were walking, sitting, playing and wrestling in areas with 4000ppm lead and up to 180ppm mercury. We try to communicate to the fathers, mothers, and kids to stay out of areas with really high levels but it doesn't seem to help. They really have a hard time with the concept of lead contamination.

  1. What a great idea with the camera. Shots that you wouldn't have had gotten otherwise. Very real... Nice
