Photographer’s Notes:

In early 2005, I went to West Africa to photograph a wedding for an American friend and her Senegalese boyfriend. For a week prior to the ceremony, I toured around the area with friends and family. I brought a few cameras with me, but shot all my personal work on a Rolleiflex, my favorite travel camera. This image was taken in the fish market in Dakar. The yellow eyes and pink scales with the blue background just grabbed me.
