Well, on the whole appropriation thing I don't really have an opinion about it as I like his photos yet I can see the down side. I stumbled across this site: http://www.zonezero.com/exposiciones/fotografos/keita/1.html I can't do the wizardry of a link. But it seems this guy was doing portraits in Mali for years isolated from European norms. Maybe some images of cultures made by themselves would even things out?(posted 8702 days ago)More than that though, I just love these pictures. I wish I could do that. I want to appropriate Keita's technique.
