people i can connect with easily. i am likable which makes for a formidable power when in a foreign country taking pictures. living in tanzania has its disadvantages, as there isnt much known about people here, and what they may posses in terms of talent, to the extent that i havent had a residency in my life despite many applications. projects like this are to nurture and advocate for those less fortunate? who can learn and share. enthusiastic as one can be, hardworking or geared, there are time where being in tanzania makes me sad. i have been lucky to travel to paris as i was exhibited there on my work on ants, what came out of it? nothing really. why is it that the 3rd world people are looked at like they arent fit to achieve? why i would like to be choosen?, simply because i will learn and will deliver what is required of me, i will not let the knowledge die with me, and this will be a great opportunity for a tanzanian to have worked with great eyes and different perspectives. i may be known in my country, but thats never enough, i want to be known thru my country and what i have to give back to it, is deeper knowledge on what is a passion, hobby and vision.
