Visited a pygmy village in Rushaga, Uganda - relocated from deep within Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to assist with the Gorilla tourism in that part of the world. The elder in the group was very serious while still welcoming. Of everyone in the village, she stared directly into the camera with her one good eye. There is still obviously some superstition about cameras and photographs in this part of Africa. They enjoyed looking at the images of themselves afterwards.
