On Wednesday I attended a funeral in the village of Gbandu with Elizabeth Faile. Going to events like this with someone who speaks the language and is a guest of honor is a huge break for me. Once I have been introduced as a friend I’m no longer just some random white guy snapping pictures and people really open up.
I took quite a few portraits at the the funeral and have posted my favorites here for you to view. The very last image is by far my favorite. I didn’t even remember having taken it and when I got home and saw it in full size it blew me away. I dare say it is probably my favorite image that I have taken since our arrival in Ghana at the beginning of October.
