A photographer in Uganda. Day 5

11 June 2009 One Comment

Since I have returned to the UK, my friends have been naturally asking me about Africa and everytime I has to pause and really think about that question because I can’t give the same answer twice! The word “Awesome” and “Amazing” are such cliches that they do not serve to describe how life changing Africa was for this lowly Photographer!

Day 5 was more about interviewing the children and to ask them about their past. We were very sensitive to the fact that would should not force them to answer anything they felt uncomfortable about; after all, do you feel comfortable talking about something in your past that was horrific?

    I really love no. 10. I love the way the light is captured. These photos are not just mere photographs of people; you’ve really caught the essence of their souls. These photographs tell a story, and that, is what is so remarkable about these photos that are so different from any others I have seen.
