Photography Exhibit

For the month of February, I was asked to exhibit some of my photography. I chose seven pieces from my collection to be displayed for 1 month. The posting read as follows:

Journey to Ghana
All images were shot using a Canon Rebel XT DSLR
Photographer: Erica Thibodeaux

These images were taken in and around the village, Jirapa, where I lived for one year as a volunteer. Through my lens, I am able to bring home a glimpse of the essence of Ghana’s natives, architecture, and wildlife. However, the rest must be left up to your own magnificent imagination.

When viewing the images, please take a moment to pause, close your eyes and IMAGINE:

the echoing sound of a bamboo xylophone
the cool feeling of a mud wall in the shade
the warm moist smell of rain setting in
the bitter sweet taste of a fresh mango
a completely exhilarating, terrifying, isolating, maddening, elating experience

Just imagine it. Thank you.

I matted and framed the images myself, a task I knew nothing of prior to its start. What I saved in dollars, I spent in patience.
