Thoughts of Africa

I've been thinking about Africa quite a bit lately. A few of my friends have been there this month running medical clinics in remote bush villages. The photos they have been sending back serve to remind me of the five weeks I spend there two years ago. How can two short years feel like an eternity?

My trip to Africa was a turning point for me in my photography. It was during those five weeks that I made it my goal to capture as much of the day to day reality as possible. I know I was successful, because when I look at those images, even after two years have passed, those eyes still tell the same story of sickness and poverty mixed with a small glimmer of hope.



Someday I will go back. I have no doubt.
