It's impossible to go one day without seeing something to inspire. Sadly, often these images go un-captured in abidance with cultural sensitivity.
I have only words in my artistic artillery...
A woman carries a crate of six live chickens on her head - battery hens on a smaller scale.
A man sits alone, crouched in full length robes while his house crumbles around him. Engrossed in his text message, he is too busy to notice his breathing irony.
A woman with a bone through her nose is typing away at the computer along side me.

The Kings of the Oguaa Traditional Council were offered gifts of Sprite and Fanta carried on the heads of 20 Ghanaian women.
A hybridisation of multinational corporations with traditional practices is infiltrating everyday life here.
It is these images that so fascinate me yet locals do not look kindly on photographs. They fear we will either try to make money from their plight or mock them back in our countries of comfort.
