It was a ten day journey that initially had had nothing to do with photography. The brief required that I film the Cocoa Bean and Shea Nut plantations in Ghana for the EXPO exhibition in Milan scheduled for the spring of 2015. Ten days were insufficient to accomplish everything and, from necessity, the Land Cruiser travelled fast while glimpses of Ghana passed, one after the after, before my eyes. Practically all the following photographs are tantalising glimpses taken from the Land Cruiser’s window at a 640th. of a second with the ISO setting set on automatic. Whenever it was possible to stretch my legs I was greeted by people with hospitable smiles and who, in spite of the poverty surrounding them, always showed great generosity and, more importantly, usually managed to find the courage to overcome their natural fear of an intruder’s camera lense.
