An East African Wedding
I recently had the honor of attending and photographing one of my student's weddings in San Diego. Asho is a Somali refugee who I have taught photography and writing to since she arrived in the United States in 2005. Her culture is rich with beautiful traditions and so many vibrant colors! The whole Somali Bantu [ethnic group] community in San Diego and Tuscon was invited to the wedding. These people know how to dance! Being the only non-Somali there, I felt as if I stepped into another country! I just feel so honored to have been able to share in and learn from the Somali culture. Thanks Asho!
