INCLUDES BOOK "Let Not the Sinuous Worm Strike Me" with an introduction by Ambassador Andrew Young. This is a publication produced by the Carter Center, featuring my photographs from Ghana while documenting the Carter Center's efforts to eradicate guinea worm disease in Africa and Asia. The book was sent to all members of Congress in order to inform them of the disease eradication efforts and encourage support from the US government.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT: Fishing boats returning to the Elmina, a fishing village on the coast of Ghana, at the end of the day. Elmina is known for a Dutch slave trading fort which is where I was standing when I took this photograph.
