We did a project for dignitas international this past year in Malawi, Africa. Dignitas provides community based HIV and TB care to rural and isolated communities in Malawi's Zomba district; part of the remote rift valley. Mayaka is a small outpost that has a health centre where people from outlying villages can come for consultations and HIV/ARV check-ups. We ended up photographing all of the patients who came through in a two hour period. I was only permitted to take one photo of each person and it was all shot on film. A series of the images won the portrait series in the Applied Arts Photo Annual. Were putting together some work for some contest entries this year and thought about these images and the people in them.
