Dearest readers, friends, and Mom,
Thanks for reading my blog.
I’m excited to announce that I’m boarding up Wanderlust Imagery and launching a new home for my photos and stories.
This blog was fun, but I’ve put together something a little shinier, more professional:
What’s a griot? Click on the link and find out for yourself.
Wanderlust won’t disappear, but all the hot n’ fresh stories will be on Quiet Griot
Also, I’ll take this opportunity to officially announce a new project:
You may have noticed the Fulani Photo Project link on this page, but now we’re ready to tell the world about Pulaku. This endeavor grew out of my friendship with Guida Belco, a brilliant young Fulani who taught me to speak Fulfulde in Goumori. We’re planning a motorcycle journey across West Africa, sharing stories and photographs from the camps of Fulani nomads. Since I’ve been in Benin, I’ve found myself drawn to the unique stoicism and mystique of the Fula people. In 2011 we will hit the trail to explore the ways in which the world’s largest nomadic tribe is coping with development and climate change.
We’re currently working hard on logistics and funding. The more popular support we have, the better. Please spread the word about the Pulaku Project. We’d be happy to prepare a small article for your blog, neighborhood newsletter, or the New York Times.
So, that’s two new bookmarks for your web-surfing pleasure. They’re both works in progress, so please browse over to the Comments page and tell me what you think.
Love,
Christoph
