The things about the camera is it brings families together:
weddings, baptisms, [and] special occasions…
Over fifty percent of my work as a photographer is families -
After all, the images I take are to remember or record these moments: that’s all we have
We also form families in the diaspora:
Wherever we travel, [and] where we live,
I was lucky enough to document it.
It bring us together; the camera does that best.
