The majority of my photos are taken while traveling, because everything feels new and exciting initially. Taking photos is like a way to make sense of the overwhelming.

As I've learned in the past few years, Mali is home to some of the most incredible musicians in the world.

My favorite photos are the ones where people don't really see me. I'm more interested in looking at people looking at things.
