class=”proflinkWrapper”>+C.C. Chapman is back home from an epic trip to Ghana & shared some photos. The link for the entire set is below, but his favorite picture is my favorite as well. There is something about the faces of elder women I find inspiring & full of knowledge. They have been through and survived so much. We need to actively take more time and learn from these amazing women around the world.

Reshared post from +C.C. Chapman
I've taken a lot of photos of faces in my life, but I honestly think this is my single favorite that I've captured. The moment I saw her, I made my way over to ask if I could take her photo. She graciously allowed me to.
After I took it and showed it to her, she finally smiled.I told her she was beautiful and she didn't understand until her friend jokingly told her what I said in the local Twi and she blushed in her own special way.
