Maybe Not

They say the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry and that couldn't be more true than in this part of the world. Just a few hours after the original idea was hatched to head towards Burundi it looks like they will have to wait a day.

This of course is bad for me but good for photo-sharing.

This shot is of a guy I first saw while buying bananas. The veins in his head were so symetrical and striking in the end of day light that I ended up negocitating a price for the bananas that included a portrait. He was a super friendly guy and even though we didn't have a word in common between us, I ended up having a horrible cup of traditional coffee and a good laugh with him.

Make pictures.

I wasn't planning to comment, only follow your travels, but the souls you've reflected in those three african faces changed my mind. Beautiful.

Stay alive.
