It's nice to remember friends and family even when you don't see their faces. My friend Celia was in Ghana for a couple of years and I never knew she was such a good photographer till she told me she wanted to use my work space for a photo contest. I was thrilled but we never got round to doing it. Better still we did get to take some awesome clear pictures of the pieces I had in the shop just before she left back to France for good. I have a folder of pictures which I have named after her and this wine piece brings back memories of the afternoon in front of the shop juggling around a white backdrop and hoping the sun stayed out for our lighting.
Looking through my stuff I found some old pictures of my friends who modeled for me when I just started making accessories. We would get together on Saturdays and I will have some juice and biscuits for us to nibble and pose for the camera. My dear friend and now one of Ghana's top music director, photographer and producer director, Nana Asihene took these shots just when he started playing with the camera. I like the idea that we worked together even when we knew very little but still very talented.
