Traveling around the Eastern countries of Africa has been a remarkable and enticing experience, but not much is as impressive as the facial expressions of the beautiful people emanating joy, peace, concern and simplicity. This book photographically attempts to capture a glimpse of those emotions. Having been born, reared, educated and practicing medicine for several years in Ohio, I found myself in San Francisco. Always fascinated by photography, my interests took me to capturing patterns and facial expressions. Basically self-taught, with some coursework at NY Institute of Photography, I've had the chance to shoot all over the country, Europe, Asia, Pacific Islands, all fantastic but the people, the sounds, the smells and the smiles I have encountered in Eastern Africa keep calling me back. It is my hope that my photographs can be enjoyed and express some element of my multi-sensorial encounters in this continent of age-old wisdom, beauty, healing and spiritual fortitude.
