<p>What you've all been waiting for (I'm sure...). Being that <strong>I haven't actually put up any work since I graduated</strong> from university, it's probably about time (more likely, a little overdue). I've been busy reformatting my portfolio galleries for awhile now. I actually started around the beginning of the year, but the website was put on hold while I was in Africa. Click the image above for a sneak preview of the new gallery layout, and a few pieces that have been sitting on my back up drive, waiting to get posted. Enjoy.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/words-to-live-by.html"><rss:title>Words to Live by</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/words-to-live-by.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Erynn Saunders</dc:creator><dc:date>2011-09-05T12:57:21Z</dc:date><dc:subject>quote</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>

<p>My first trip into the bush was a success. We drove southwest to Simanjero to celebrate a new school opening/fundraiser for the Maasai. The exciting part about this school is that the whole project was initiated by the Maasai themselves. Not only that, but they formed the <a href="http://www.en-kata.com/" target="_blank">En-Kata Choir</a>, which toured around the US to raise money to build it. That&rsquo;s how <a href="http://pamoja.info" target="_blank">Pamoja</a> was involved with the project. They helped get them to the states and recorded two albums with the choir to raise funds.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/going-to-africa.html"><rss:title>Going to Africa</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/going-to-africa.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Erynn Saunders</dc:creator><dc:date>2011-04-30T23:43:15Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 300px;" src="http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/storage/post-images/Church%20Presentation1.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1309435878591" alt="" /></span></span>
Well, it's official. Tickets have been booked for my four month trip to to East Africa! Tanzania to be exact. For the majority of the trip, my wife and I will be living on an acreage just outside Arusha. It's a decent size city (around 1.3 million people) and is considered the de facto capital of the East African Community.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/sneak-peak-youre-in-good-company.html"><rss:title>Sneak Peak: You're in Good Company</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/sneak-peak-youre-in-good-company.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Erynn Saunders</dc:creator><dc:date>2011-04-09T16:02:39Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2Fpost-images%2Fgcmc-mockup.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1302365073400',668,1000);"><img src="http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/storage/thumbnails/4066667-11646359-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1302365073403" alt="" /></a></span></span></p>

<p>Get out there and ride, friends.</p>
