Robert: I like this work, loving how the images are returned to the environment. But I do wonder about the women and what images they might have taken if they had been given the cameras. I think I would be more interested in skilling them up to produce their own images too. Less of the post colonial visitor and more of a collaborative relationship where the women depict their own lives. Not sure what to make of the idea of getting them to make silly faces. The photographer leaves and in what way have these womens lives changed I wonder. But I do like making the women more visible. Lots to think about with this project.
