Nocturne in E-flat major. Op. 9, No. 2 - Frédéric François CHOPIN

Uburozi - in KinyaRwanda, a traditional healer. I had the privilege and honour of having long chats (through a translator at times as my KinyaRwanda was not that good) with this old man in NW Rwanda, listening to some amazing stories. I was permitted to take one photo, and although not asked to, I took a print of it back to him. The smile on the Mzee's face was my reward, eyes shining with a hint of a tear. Photos of traditional healers/shamans should never be taken lightly as there is the feeling that it takes something from them. So always ask permission and, as far as possible, get a print of that photo back to them. They feel they have gained a bit of control back over that photo. (Be careful of just randomly referring to them as witchdoctors - there are different kinds of traditional healers) . . . #peopleofafrica #uburozi #traditionalhealer #africa #rwanda #culture #explore #adventure #natgeotravel #natgeoculture #rurallife #witchdoctor #traditionpreserved (at Rwanda)
