I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Finding Hope in a Hungry World
The photography of Howard G. Buffett
Farmers get about 40 seasons over a lifetime to plant their crops and improve their harvests, and each of us has about 40 chances to accomplish our life goals and create lasting change.
Philanthropist Howard G. Buffett reflects this realization through his photojournalism, documenting the global hunger crisis and inspiring others to make the most of their own 40 chances to improve the world.
Nearly 800 million people worldwide suffer from chronic hunger. Armed with his camera, Buffett has traveled to 137 countries over the past two decades seeking solutions to the hunger crisis. These images reflect Buffett's belief that hunger cannot be separated from poverty, conflict, fear and lack of opportunity for women.
Journalists play a vital role in documenting the causes of hunger, but cutbacks in the news industry limit their ability to cover these critical issues. The Howard G. Buffett Foundation works with the International Women's Media Foundation to support the work of journalists reporting on hunger, poverty and conflict around the globe.
- NEWS40_151005_12.JPG: About the Photographer:
Howard G. Buffett has made it his mission to devote the rest of his life and an estimated $8 billion to ending world hunger. As a farmer, he understands what it takes to produce food in challenging conditions and how conflicts over resources are creating devastating consequences for the world's poor. Inspired by his father, legendary investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett, to "do something great in the world," Buffett chronicles his quest to end hunger in his book, "40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World."

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
