East Africa: Photoblogging aid work in Kenya

Joseph Linaschke, a friend of mine who's a photographer and software technologist (with a very large company I've been asked not to mention here) is headed to Kenya soon with camera and laptop. He's going there to document the work of IHF, an aid group that serves indigenous children living in extreme poverty. Here's an introductory post about the project.

Raul Gutierrez: photographs from Tibet and rural China

Above, "Mother and Daughter," from the "Yushu to Serba Road" series by Brooklyn-based photographer Raul Gutierrez. I could look at his work all day. He has traveled extensively in Amdo, Kham, and other rural areas of Tibet, and the candid glimpses of traditional life he's brought back are just stunning. Subscribe to an RSS feed of his photos here, looks like he's represented by this gallery if you'd like to buy prints.
