Scarlett Lion | 2010: photos of football in ghana

About Scarlett Lion

Photographer, writer, reporter. Going through life with an eye towards creating records and histories.

On the roof a a friend’s house in Nakasero, Kampala back in 2006, I went through a crate of discarded items he and a few other artists had gathered. On that day, I was looking for something, and I found the lion. Something about the hollowed out, paint chipped toy appealed to my understanding of this amazing continent: I’d never seen a real lion, after all.

Previously based in Uganda, currently in Liberia. Always roaming. This blog provides curiosities, commentary, and photos.

Check this out! Great photos by African photographers of football in Ghana:

An exciting new project aims to give African journalists a voice in the global media in the build-up to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Twenty Ten is a multidisciplinary media project that focuses on strengthening African journalists from the disciplines of writing, radio reporting and photography, and distributing their articles, images, broadcasts and multimedia productions to media across Africa and the world. 108 journalists from 34 African nations are attending workshops around the continent which coincide with qualifying matches for the tournament. 18 of them will be invited to South Africa to cover the event on the ground during June and July 2010.
