"Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."

Iganga, Uganda.
I have spent the last two weeks in east Africa travelling and meeting people in Uganda and Kenya. It's been a lifechanging experience. No more, no less. Hopefully my images from this trip into another world (there is no other way of putting it really) will be able to convey some of that.
In rural Uganda people have very little experience of cameras. To put it mildly. If I wanted to get a portrait of someone the first couple of shots looked like the one on the left here. However by shot four or five things could look very different. As seen on the right. In this case I said, "Why do you look so serious?" And was greeted with a smile that would make the Joker envious.
This is Robert. He has a second hand clothes store where he also does repairs. Togheter with his chicken business, breeding and selling, he hopes to make enough money to find a wife and get married.
