I have been to Sierra Leone three times, the first time in 1986, then in 1988 and the last in 1991.
Last week I digitized about 2,000 slides that I shot in Sierra Leone on these three occasions. I have seen through these images the places but above all the people I met in those years and that I still keep in my heart. I don’t remember any other places where leaving them I cried.
