Exploring Accra

Accra is a very busy town marked by crowds, constant traffic jams, and high pollution. However, there are obviously also interesting and good aspects of this town with there being so much to see and discover.
I keep exploring Accra with my camera, although photographing is really not easy in this town. Nonetheless, I keep trying to photograph there, and I always find new and surprising places. I also like to photograph in my neighborhood where people know me, which makes it easier. I like to observe the children who play in the streets, or I visit hair salons, small shops, and fruit sellers that are close to my house. There is always something interesting going on for me to shoot.
