![Never[Forget]: Images from Rwanda](http://www.aelandesphotography.com/eventblog/wp-content/uploads/yapb_cache/1001150004.yrusyldz5w08k40gs4wk0owo.8fmh5ekom0sgc4cg88ookss0o.th.jpeg "Never[Forget]: Images from Rwanda")
This is collection of images from a trip I had gone on to visit Rwanda in 2005. Considering the recent violent history of this beautiful country, they are still rebuilding and reestablishing justice in their communities. Taking care of the orphaned children is just one of the many projects that needs to be done, and I feel privileged to have met such bright and wonderful kids in such circumstances. I hope one day to return on a similar visit.
Posting these images in a public domain has long been a project of mine, but now they are finally up and ready for viewing. They are handmade cyanotypes, a type of photographic process that produces large, ethereal images in very saturated blue and brown tones. I am accepting orders for a run of high-quality reproduction prints on watercolor paper at the original size (22×30 inches) for $200 each. Please email me for further details. A portion of the proceeds will go back to the Umuryango Children’s Network, which aims to get these Rwandan kids off the streets and equip them for success in their country.
Here is the full gallery of images from the Never[Forget]: A Reaction to Current Situations in Rwanda (2005).
