MY YEAR OF ABUNDANT WEALTH: DESPATCH #5

Meet Angela*. She’s a giggly, bubbly schoolgirl, who requested I took her photo. A lot of the girls here love posing for photographs - & of course as soon as the camera turns on them, it’s hand on hip, & out comes the pout. Tyra would be so proud, there’s an excellent example ofsmizing going on here**.

* Probably not her real name. A lot of people play around with a couple of names: an African name, & then another (usually Western) name. One of the kids who helps out at The White House bar & restaurant calls himself Gilbert. I love the playfulness of it!

** Reference to America’s Next Top Model lingo: smiling with the eyes.

VOLTA VOICE: THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL ACCOUNTANT

Before I put up photos from last weekend, let me introduce you to a new project! From 10 June, I'll be in Ghana for 3 weeks! You can follow what I get up to over at Volta Voice, a blog I've set up specifically for the period.

Above, pics from a pop-up Ghanian restaurant that I attended last night, to get me in the African mood. You'll find more of my pics from the night here!
