READING: Senegal

This blog post is about another blog post from the Times' photography blog, Lens. The article is Senegal's Changing Urban Landscape. The photographer, a Sicilian man named Mimi Mollica, used medium format color film. There is a brief accompanying article discussing his goals for the project. He wanted to portray a different Africa than the usual depictions of war-torn Africa. The images are beautiful. The blog wouldn't let me pull images from the slideshow, but here are some from the article:

Some of the other images are beautiful and I would recommend looking at them at the link above.
