The Castle on The Coast - Ghana West Africa
Friday, December 26, 2008
Here are more pictures from the slave castle tour that Brandi and I did on Christmas. We learned some really interesting facts and absorbed as much info as we could. The tour started with a viewing of the gallery where we learned about the origins of slavery and the battles during the slave trade. Then we had the opportunity to stand in a piece of a ship. Last we walked through the actual holding areas for slaves before they were shipped to South America, North America and The Caribbean. As I stood with my group in the dark underground rooms lit by only one window my eyes began to fill with tears. History. If you ever come to Ghana this is a must see place. We were almost speechless after the experience.

I love your black and white photographs. Your pictures tell a very vivid story. You capture the essence of the pictures with the natural lighting, and artificial lighting would do your pictures an unjust service. Beautiful work!!!
