Market Vignettes

You will not find anything aesthetic in Ghana's cities... there is no symmetry, rhyme or reason in the city planning... the buildings are ugly cement fortresses, they are usually dingy and dirty.... half of them are unfinished eysores...

No, Ghana's beauty is certainly not skin deep. You need to look past all the dirt and decay to the individual person and the world they have fashioned in this madness...

It continually amazes me to see people calm and cool dressed beautifully in crisp colourful garments ...

To see people calmly going about their work amidst all the calamity...

Above all to see that resilience and patience in these people's faces that i only now have found ... even though i have had all the advantages.
