Kigali – Through My Lens

Hey all. Today’s photographic blog takes us to Kigali. It’s over a year since I was in East Africa now, and Kigali was my first stop last year in the continent. A city that had been to hell and back during the Tutsi Genocide of 1994, some of the things to see were not attractions but solemn reminders of the seamlessly boundless human ability to … well, yeah.

    You put it carefully – that some of what you photographed are not attractions but reminders. The bullet holes at Camp Rwanda sitting in the same set as the Nyandungu Eco-Park says a lot about how a city carries its history while still getting on with being a city. Thank you for photographing both with the same seriousness.

  2. What’s impressive about Rwanda for me is how they completely rewrote their history in just 2-3 short decades! When I make it to Kigali, I think I’m going to leave it as inspired as I did when I visited Medellin, if not more. Thanks for sharing!
