Faces of Lamu

Swahili people of Lamu. The oldest town in East Africa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and arguably the most complete Swahili town in existence, Lamu Town on Lamu Island was one of the first Swahili settlements along the coast of East Africa. 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.
