Chow Time
I had shot neither film nor much Schwarz und Weiß, but it was MPG's birthday and we were at The Dish Cafe.
The food had *just* arrived. See MPG's anticipation and waitress exiting by their hot sauce shelves in bokeh. MPG handed me her Pentax and even with food on the table, I could not turn down taking a snap.

Helping Children From India's Slums
This hard-working student at Olcott Memorial School in Chennai, India was completing his assignment outside, where it was sunny and warm. My wife and I were touring the school with Headmistress Lakshmi Suryanarayanan. Lakshmi stopped to quiz him on his work -- and he passed, of course!
Olcott Memorial is a 115-year-old school dedicated exclusively to children from the poorest parts of Indian society, including the slums of Chennai. It is one of many projects in Chennai funded in part by Asha for Education.
The Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire has captured hearts around the world. Of the millions who have seen it, many wonder what they can do to help children from India's slums.
Asha for Education is a nonprofit organization run completely by volunteers. Asha has funded and organized education projects in slums across India, including the slums shown in Slumdog Millionaire. Asha has worked to help these children for more than 10 years, with 93 projects focusing on children from slums.
One of the best things you can do to help is to make a donation to Asha for Education. Do so by using the Google Checkout form on their website.
You can also help by spreading the word about Asha's good work. As demonstrated in the first comment below, you can place the graphic based on this photo on web sites, profiles, in email, and so on, linking to Asha's site. You could even put a copy in your flickr stream :)

Helping Children From India's Slums
Eager students run outside to greet Headmistress Lakshmi Suryanarayanan at Olcott Memorial School in Chennai, India. My wife and I were touring the school with Lakshmi, and she was a rock star! The kids were super excited to share what they had been learning.
