MyGanda: Week One of my Uganda Photography Project

I am currently wrapping up my first week of shooting in Uganda. I am focusing my work on issues affecting women and children and have spent my time so far visiting some of the slums here in Kampala. I will be continuing to post while I'm here, so please sign up for my free blog subscription by email or reader in the right side bar (Email subscriptions are easy; simply enter your email address & when I make new posts they will be delivered to your inbox).
