outtakes!

lately i have had the opportunity to take some photos for a website dedicated to african culture in montreal. the website covers art, literature, music, film... basically anything african that is of interest. the talented, and very generous marie esperance cerda asked me to lend an eyeball in getting some photos of the shows that are ongoing for the festival nuits d'afrique, which happens every year in montreal. so far i have taken photos at three shows, and there are more to come. i thought i would post some of the photos that didn't make it onto the website, but that i really like nonetheless. just for you guys!
