Photography
While building my portfolio, I felt that I needed to share more than just photographs from our six month journey. From this desire arose "Two Mzungus and a Camera", an online dialogue about travelling in Africa and the Mid East. Here I share stories and recommendations to the prospective adventurer--in Africa and beyond.
