I’ve wanted to go to Lagos for years but haven’t really had a chance. Tomorrow, I head there for the Lagos Photography Festival. I’m honored to have my work on aging in Sierra Leone shown among so many other amazing photographers, and hope the old folks at King George’s will too.

And no matter how confident I am in the folks at the Nigerian consulate in New York who helped me out with my visa, it’s hard not too feel nervous about sending money to the Nigerian government over the internet for payment of said visa. It all went well, and hopefully Lagos will too.

I’ll report back soon, and for now, leave y’all with this:

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past couple of months in New York working on  a new edit of my work from Liberia. I’ve thought a lot about what it is that pulls me to this strange country and what it is that I’m trying to say about  this place. I have more clarity on this than ever, and a brand new set of portfolio images that I will use as a starting point for the next couple of weeks snapping the elections in Liberia.

Big, big thanks to Alison Morely at the International Center for Photography, Alan Chin, Jason Eskanazi, Candace Feit, Erica McDonald, and many, many others for all the feedback and assistance recently and over the past couple of years.

Please check out the full edit on my website here, and a couple of the newly rediscovered and sequenced images below too.
