In collaboration with Vistek, the Fig Tree Foundation collected and distributed cameras to development organizations in Africa during a 12-month pilot project. The cameras were placed in the hands of project participants to learn a skill, create economic activities, and photograph their world as they see it.

The As We See It Photo Exhibit highlights images from the pilot, and consists of two components.

First, images taken by the pilot participants. For many, this was the first time using a camera. Second, images taken by Calgary-based international development workers highlighting why they do the work they do.

This exhibit is part of the larger Calgary Banff Photography Festival - Exposure 2010. For more information on Exposure, visit www.exposure2010.ca
