I look forward to seeing more.

I have been attracted to Africa and it’s wildlife for about a year now. I have been wanting to photograph urban wildlife and the “Sacred ibis take flight” image has influenced me to look beyond my local urban wildlife and open my mind to new ideas.
I realize that even the poorest Americans are better off than thousands of other people around the world and these pictures are proof of that. You said in your post “There’s no doubt that the majority of people living here would rather be somewhere else” I still feel like you captured how these people have seemed to have accepted their living conditions and almost seem comfortable with it. I also like how you captured the quietness of the waste dump besides from the sacred ibises.
