photographing the mature

I mentioned last week that I love photographing kids, and I do. However, I realized on my trip to Uganda that I also love photographing the mature generation. There’s so much wisdom that can be found in those lines that come with age. These are some of my favorite shots I captured.

I met this lady in Kampala. She was sitting there by herself, so I walked up and asked if I could take her photo. She laughed and nodded yes. As soon as I got the camera in position, her laugh turned to serious.

I asked her if we could do it one more time with a smile. I love how her eyes light up!

This lady was the very first patient in Dino. She was seriously a hoot. I snapped some photos of her waiting in line. Not only did she smile but she posed and laughed hysterically after I snapped. I loved her joy. This is her after she saw the doctor and was waiting in the pharmacy for her meds.

By the second and last day in Dino, I looked around at the end of the day and wondered how in the world the doctors would see all patients before the sun set. The line still seemed long. This lady was patiently resting her head against her cane as she waited to be seen.

This gogo was also waiting patiently. I love how stately and beautiful she looks as the sun sets behind her.
