For the first time in my life I am afraid to take pictures. At first, I told myself that it was because I needed to experience this culture without being concerned about artistic interpretation. While that may be partially true, it really just turns out to be fear. So what is it that I am worried about? Being culturally irresponsible. I don’t really know how these people view photography. No one else has a camera out all the time. The average person I meet is not used to some white person taking pictures of them and where they live or work or play. In America, I fit in. People are used to cameras and photojournalism. I stick out in Africa and my giant camera does too. I have got to get up the courage and I need to get some more information. But today, I feel comfortable taking pictures of where I live, inside of my walls, where no one can see me. So this is what I will share with you – my new place of residence. And boy, is it sure different than my last.
