Dr. Robert Mbinda.

Dr. Mbinda an Anglican priest, and Leader of the Good Samaritan Orphanage in Mbeya, Tanzania offered four sermons of joy and thanksgiving to the people of St John for their efforts in helping to build the orphanage. One of these services offered a more open form, entertaining questions from the youth of St. John. We enjoyed hearing Dr. Mbinda's words of thanks, and of the wonderful children he has accepted charge of. Here are a few of the pictures of their visit. ............................................all images by and copyright of Jim Stepanik

Those Guys

2008-04-24T14:36:00.010-04:00

Jimmy and Steven at it again.

Steven was over the other day and like normal, he and Jimmy were at having a great time. I wanted to add a few new photos to my James Photographic web site just to refresh what is there. We tried some outdoor portraits as well. Steven showed up wearing an Orioles shirt so I suggested that Jimmy change into his. That made for a more uniform appearance for the photography session. The guys really hammed it up, with light sabers and blasters blazing.
I was able to settle them down long enough to get portraits of them in a less active but still enthusiastic expressions. ............ all photos copyright Jim Stepanik.
