These photos were taken on recent trips to Africa. The Mountain Gorillas and Constance are currently part of my first photo exhibit called "Out of the Darkness" which refers to how the Mountain Gorillas are attracting tourists to Rwanda. That money helps Rwandas build their country in the wake of the 1994 genocide. Meanwhile the people in turn are protecting the Mountain Gorilla in an attempt to stave off their extinction.
the other two photos are children I met and photographed in rural Ethiopia the previous year.
