[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was one of the youth that lived around the house I stayed in while I was in Rwanda. It was one of several that I took of him and his family, and I hope that he is doing well. I was very thankful that he and his family let me into his house.
It was from a series of photographs about shortening the distance from America to Rwanda. I wanted the pictures to confront their audience, so they are printed much larger than life in the final presentation.
