Big news incoming. Drum rolls, I quit my job. Yup. I will be telling you guys of that story later, but why I mentioned that is because, one of the things I intend on focusing on more now is street photography. I have always wanted to tell stories of people, the struggles, the hustle, everything. There is no better place to do it than the city of Lagos, Nigeria. Well, there are actually. My city is unsafe, rough, and every single adjective you could think of that is not great. Me pointing a camera at people or things in certain places could land me in serious trouble. Still, I'm unperturbed. I am actually, but I have a plan. One that cuts the risk down a thousand folds. Fear not guys, I will not be risking my life for photography, albeit it's a very difficult decision, lol. I was taking some pictures of my sister for her birthday a few days ago (photos coming in soon), then I saw this lads pushing Thier wheelbarrows, selling yams. It did melt my heart. It was the perfect opportunity for me to take a photo.

I've seen the spectacular works of @coloneljethro and I can only try to emulate such masterpiece. And so begins, the storytelling. Hope you liked it. All photos shot with my Nikon D3200
