Ok, so this is my little neighbor Anna (pronounced with really long A's) right before she went to take a bath. She's on the porch of her parent's house, which is slightly bigger than mine, but holds 8 kids. I like the shot because the surroundings are very typical of upscale Cameroonian families in my village. Basically the rule is, if you have money, you have a cement house, and if you don't, you live in a mud hut with a straw roof. Anna comes over to my house to play with the cat or search for fruit seeds pretty much every day, and at first I couldn't communicate with her by anything but exaggerated hand signals, but now we can chat in Fulfulde...sort of.
