A Return to Madagascar
Some people call it the “photographic incubator”: a series of images find their own right time to come full circle into the project that it is meant to be. Ten years have passed since Joni’s book, Torina’s World: The Villages of Madagascar, was self-published with creative direction by LensWork Publishing. Her son, Ben, was nine years old when he edited the book and went with Joni to schools to talk about his experience in editing at such a young age. At that time, the book was mainly distributed by Barb Sanders at Catalyst Books.
Fast forward 10 years, and with serendipitous energy, the subject of the book, Torina, and Joni’s son are both now 18 years old, and Torina has found a way to write a letter via translators. Ben attends Oregon State University on a partial leadership scholarship. Torina still lives in her small hut with her parents and six younger brothers. She desperately wants to attend school.
