Lake Victoria

Shores of Lake Victoria, Kisumu, Nyanza Province, Kenya December 2007.
We had gone out on a boat just after sunrise, but about an hour into the journey we came across a spot where people were working and we were able to get freshly-caught tilapia and cokes for breakfast. It was just another working day for these women packing charcoal, but the scene had a richness to it, like a painting. The fixed geometry of the charcoal sacks contrasts well with the lines of the women as they bend to lift and pack.

I feel like am floating in outerspace when I look at your pictures.They apitly cover that side of life which I am never consious of.You know,to one not a photographer, an activity taking place somewhere is just that-an ordinary happenning.But when presented with insightfull picturres like yours he is surely grabbaed by the collar and Osama-ed into another sort of reality that he or she never thought existed before.Keep on keeping on.
