Over break I traveled to Ghana. The trip was thanks to my beau who went to continue the momentum for his NGO's
latest development. After photographing for school in Ohio, it felt a positive challenge to photograph abroad. I didn't take my first frames until two days after arrival. These first frames are from the beach shore in Accra.
Steven in the photo above, had the identical shape of my big toe. I never thought I would find my toe twin.
While in Accra, towards the beginning of the trip, I was purchasing a Ghanaian newspaper when Comfort Esere, in the image below, came into the shop with her friend's son Emaneul Fiedzinu. She noticed my camera and requested to be photographed. I was surprised to see just how many people, upon discovery of the camera I carried, asked to have their photo "captured."
Below, a man reads on a fallen billboard sign.
We took a weekend trip to Tafi Atome, located in the Volta Region of Ghana.
Francis, in the blue and white shirt, was taken to photography. He had requested that I capture his picture while he held his younger sister "small Kathy." His hand jet upwards when he noticed that I was taking a horizontal photograph.
He wanted me to capture a vertical image.
Francis and I passed my camera back and forwards. Below are a few of his that I share.
We took one last weekend trip to Sunyani and spent a night in Kumasi along the way.
