Anne: What is driving me?

Owing to circumstances, in the year 1997 I ended up in Eritrea.
Instantaneously the diversity of the population struck me.
The way they live their daily lifes (in spite of sometimes difficult circumstances) in a most harmonious way, showed me their unprecedented inward- and outward beauty.
Being a photographer I couldn’t ignore this magnificence; I just had to capture it.
In the years gone-by it has grown into a tribute to these warm-hearted people who have generously welcomed me into their everyday life. Any of my profits of this book will be employed for the benefit of the Eritrean people.
