Now–let me show you another image that did NOT make it into the book.
I made this photo in Rwanda in 2010 on assignment for International Justice Mission. It remains one of my friend’s favorite photos. But with the rise of Instagram came all these photos with people’s backs to us in some incredible setting. And I grew tired of seeing that stuff, as you may have as well. This photo just had too much of that element to it, even though I took it well before Instagram was even invented. So–it didn’t make it into the book. But plenty of others did. And I want you to see some of those.
