“I need a bailout too.”

We do need to have a healthy economy and we do need wealthy people in our society if we’re to accomplish our goals of halving extreme poverty by 2015. I just hope when all this is over we can devote as much energy to catastrophes outside our borders as we do to our current economic crisis. Not likely.

Around a third of the world’s people still can’t afford the necessities of life: health care, proper housing, education, sometimes even food. As long as we’re shelling out all this cash to companies that can’t seem to run themselves properly, why not throw a in little earmark for people like Karen Lopez, pictured above in her neighborhood in Peru’s Amazon Basin.

Jake, I was going through some old e-mails and ran across a link to your site. I have just spend over an hour enjoying your photographs from around the world. You really have a gift. I was especially taken by two photographs and their beauty..the one of Mount Aarat and the one of Berkaher Village on the Armenia border. I would like permission to either print these two pictures on my computer, or purchase prints from you. I was especially pleased to see pictures of Ryan Haney’s wedding, and one of his Mom. We miss seeing Sandy since she moved. Keep up your beautiful work.
