https://sonofthemorninglight.files.wordpress.com/2022/03/1u9a2441.jpg — Walking down the narrow alleys off Stewart Street is like traveling through an underground warren; a network that is both pathway and home. Often it felt like I was walking through someone’s bedroom, even when still on the street. Slave Island. January 2022. Shot on assignment for Panos Pictures and The Global Fund.*
