A Cell Phone!
I was setting up to take a photo of the profiles of these young children as they all had their attention directed forward when, all of a sudden, I noticed through my viewfinder that someone had a cell phone. I exclaimed out in surprise, as I had not seen a single cell phone in any of the villages of Mali (which have no roads, no electricity, no running water.....). My response caused everyone to turn and look at me. I quickly clicked the shutter and likely ended up with a more interesting photo than the one I originally planned.
To my flickr contacts: I am finally wrapping up my photos of Mali and have now organized my uploads into thematic sets. For those of you who have been my contact for some time, you know that my photos are designed to be part of photoessay, rather than to stand as individual photographs. If you are interested in learning more about Mali and would like to see the photos in a more organized and meaningful fashion, feel free to visit my Mali collection. I thank you very much for your very kind and insightful comments. It has been my pleasure to share my visit to this fascinating country with you.
