Last month I spent a few extra days on the ground in Nairobi after working for a non-profit client there. Having photographed in Kenya during the post-election violence, I decided to stick around to uncover any evidence of progress being made in the areas most impacted by the violence two years ago. I was surprised by what I found.
This weekend I spent a few hours in the darkroom catching up on a huge stack of negatives from that personal work. The image above is a member of the Kibera Olympic boxing team.
Over the next several weeks I’ll be compiling these stories into still image essays and multimedia features, so check back for updates!
