documenting the dhow

Documenting the Dhow:
publication in progress!

While in Lamu, I used photography to collaborate with local artisans, the museum archivist Issa Loo, and others, on various projects and sustainable business endeavors.  For example, I took a series of images to document the process of dhow-building in Lamu, in collaboration with artist Bernard Moro, who is creating sketches from the photos.  See some of his beautiful work here.

Work has begun to create informational illustrated documents from this collaborative process… updates coming soon!
