Though they little in the way of possessions, Turkana women wear a profusion of necklaces and armlets and spend long hours fashioning each other’s hairstyles. Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin, also known as 'Six Camera Mo' was best known as a great frontline photojournalist, but he spent more time documenting his country’s beauty, culture, people and leaders than anything else. Mo managed to use his cameras for more than a generation to bring East Africa’s most powerful stories into world view.
