Santa Fe Digital Darkroom Photo Workshops: Uganda

“Assignment: Uganda” was a documentary photography workshop that taught photographers about working with non-governmental organizations (NGO’s). I was to spend ten days in Uganda- and I stayed for over two months-documenting life in association with relief projects in rural villages within the region. The experiences will forever change my life and the way I see the world.

As I prepared to leave for Uganda, my friends and family expressed their concerns; “be careful,” “I’ll be worrying about you.” They offered safety and security tips on hiding my money and how to fake out thieves. As I left my home, I feared what I was getting into: famine, disease, poverty, war, political unrest, orphans with bloated bellies, fly covered children. Does any good news ever come out of Africa?
