Project 365, Day 100! Live from Ghana!

Actually, it's Day 101.

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. However, I did get to shoot.

In fact, at the morning meeting, the doctor let the whole crew know that I am a photographer and if they want pictures taken, they had better come see me!

Which everyone did...

It's a good thing we didn't have patients to see, because everyone was tugging at my sleeve to shoot a picture of them next. I was able to get decent pictures of just about everyone, I think.

Yesterday morning was an interesting time. Our driver, Adams, wanted pictures of him in the ambulance, then one of the gents that checks the oxygen tank levels every morning wanted a shot of that, Edward the X-ray tech, wanted shots of his little part of the clinic and the various aspects of his job, then it was off to shoot Ahman, in the laboratory. I got a real nice shot of him looking through a microscope.

....Only to notice later, that there was no slide on the tray. Ooops. It's a nice shot, but it's pretty clear it was staged. Live and learn...

My toughest shots had to be of Edward. He works in a very dark area of the clinic shooting, developing and reading X-rays and his dark skin made it a bit of a challenge. If only I had brought a flash...

Even though he was my toughest customer, one of the shots I took just happen to be my favorite of the whole day.


Edward as he processes films in the darkroom.

I just like how that one turned out.
