Can’t be a 6′4″ white guy with a camera in a remote village and not get asked to take a few portraits.
In 1988, on a trip to Uganda, we carried a polaroid and were able to take family shots, village shots, etc. and give them the photograph right then and there. I can’t seem to find a Polaroid these days. And while everyone seems to get a kick looking at the LCD screen on the back of my camera, it’s not the same.
some portraits from yesterday’s shoot.
