Cases - taken in The Gambia. I tell people this is the man carrying my camera gear!
Mombassan Girl - this beautiful girl was a hair dresser on a dhow.
Smiling Girl, Zaire - despite the obvious poverty, the children often had a lovely smile.
Masai Women - the Masai are a very proud race. In Tanzania, it is illegal to photograph them without their permission. If you try, you could get a spear in your back or a rock through your windscreen.
Masai women - I felt the group needed an extra figure on the right to add balance - so I cloned in the woman from the previous picture.
Masai Child crying.
Pygmy Girl, Zaire - not exactly page 3 of the sun. She was in an area where canabis grew. Judging by her eyes and lack of development, she was quite a regular user.

Goma was easily the most scariest place I have ever been to. It is just over the border from Uganda and, at that time, full of Idi Amin's exiled henchmen. I didn't dare take an pictures as, I was warned, I could be regarded as a spy and attacked. I asked the man if I could take a picture of his wife and he agreed. The look of fear, in her eyes, summed up the place for me. Shortly afterwards, I has a truck driven at me. It caught my elbow, fortunately only badly bruising it.
Came across this Masai youth who was out to prove he was man enough to become a warrior. He had to survive, in the wild, on his own for several weeks. If he survived he would become a Masai Warrior. The face painting showed that he was doing his initiation.
