Photos without the awkward
I was thinking it was about time to post something, lately I have been thinking about relationships–Canadian and Ghanaian the similarities and the differences and how I really do need them both. I don’t really am not going to elaborate on this is it would be very very long, and plus I have another thought.
It was when I was taking photos, man it’s hard people yell, threat, ask for money if I take a photos of them or their roof. But I have found a solution-have a Ghanaian take the photos, you can even tell the difference when you look at the photo, when I take it the photo looks forced as if they have to put up some kind of front, but when my friend the Ghanaian takes it, the photo looks like any family photo, and he can get shots that I cannot. He also can explain to them in Gonja, and ask if it is okay–something that I cannot do as the communication barrier is pretty large.
So what I have ended up with is the thought that a photo is very subjective, and that WHO takes it is just as key as the person in it.
