While walking around in a fallow/shrubland, I ran into these goats and their herders. The children started shouting for me to photograph them.
Later, I ran into them again, in another shrubland. It turned into even more photographs.
And finally, they had found Elli by one of her soil sample sites. There was no end to the hunger these boys had for being photographed.
I only wish I would be able to print the photos and give them to the boys. I always feel a little bit like I’m stealing from someone when I photograph them. I want to give something back too. I’ll have to look around some in Ouahigouya.
