About
From the time I was
young, I wanted to travel. So it was fitting that, at the age of fifteen, I
moved with my family to a rural region of Uganda, called Karamoja. Four years
later, after shifting my life from East Africa back to the United States, I
created this blog.
In the local
dialect of Karamoja, a camera is called ibore ngini ikamere ngitorubei, which
roughly translated means, "the thing which captures shadows." That
phrase has been the inspiration for the title and theme of this blog. Africa
will always hold its place in my heart, but capturing shadows is
dedicated to loving and capturing the simple moments of everyday life here my current corner of Pennsylvania.
I am a lover of words, a lover of beauty and a
student of quiet thought.
