One Big Family<\/b><\/h2>\n

The title reflects the warm welcome I received while travelling to many African countries over the years. I stayed in people\u2019s homes, ate with them. I enjoyed eating the delicious Hausa Koko<\/i> (millet porridge), and drinking fresh camel\u2019s milk, and\u00a0Burukoku<\/i> (the local brew)<\/p>\n

I have always been very interested in photographing people, and traditional houses
\nMy aim has always been to capture the warmth, the colours and vibrant life I knew as a child in Nigeria, and to – in my own little way – help preserve some traditions which\u00a0I believe are fast disappearing because of our modern way of life.<\/p>\n

I have chosen for this exhibition my photographs from five African countries, Senegal<\/a>, Mali<\/a>, Nigeria<\/a>, Ethiopia<\/a> and Ghana<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
