The light was barely filtering into the sky when we climbed into our shabby boat to head deep into the remote delta. When we arrived, the wind had picked up and dust was blowing across the barren lands. As I wandered through the village, I noticed this exotic young woman near her hut with this beautiful gourd. I kindly asked if I may photograph her in the landscape. The scene was so magical of how it feels to be deep off the beaten path in Africa.
