The three stories Emily Peters wrote about the Baptist Medical Centre have been published on the GoWestAfrica.org website as well as by the Baptist Press. The BP has now distributed it to all its affiliates and the stories are popping up all over the web (and in some newspapers).

I got an email from Mike Mott, our pastor from Seminole First Baptist Church, telling me that she was on the front page of the Florida Baptist Witness!

Here are the stories on gowestafrica.org (I’m biased towards that source since it has more photos):

• 50 year celebration
• Volunteers needed
• BMC Public health

Or you can pick another source:

• IMB.org
• Baptist Press
• Florida Baptist Witness
• Oklahoma Baptist Messenger
• Christian Telegraph
• Mission Network News (with audio version too!)
• Baptist Medical Centre’s website

I often visit a great website called “The Mindful Eye.” It is an online photography community that features articles, tutorials, podcasts, and forums on all things photographic. One of their best features is The Daily Critique; every couple days they post a video where a professional photographer offers constructive criticism on a photo that was submitted by a user to be critiqued. Watching these short videos can teach you a lot about photography.

They also let users submit images to be considered for the Photo of the Week pick. The pick of the week is then critiqued by a pro. I was flattered not only to have a portrait I made at BMC get picked but get such wonderful comments by Atlanta-based professional photographer Craig Tanner. As usual, listening to his critique of my image taught me something new: specular highlights!

If you have an interest in photography and are looking to improve your skillset, I highly recommend The Mindful Eye.

My photograph entitled “The Veil” won 3rd place in the “2008 Print of the Year” competition of the Middle Georgia Camera Club. I’m honored to have my art recognized but even more importantly it’s great to be able to share the beauty of West Africa with people here.

The photograph was taken in December 2007 as part of a series entitled “It Pains O’ Why?“
