Pele o....My name is Osunyoyin Alake, as my name indicates I am a daughter of Osun, and also a priest since 1989. I am a traditionalist and don't believe in reinventiing the wheel. The gods are dynamic and make changes where their wisdom shows it is necessary. I used to work for an airline so I have traveled extensively. I am an anthro-photo-journalist, travel and fine arts photographer and poet. Paramount in my vision of imaging is to draw the viewer in to the image and to give them the feeling of "being there." My photographic explorations include documenting the disappearing religious cultures of the Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria and the Akan speaking peoples of Ghana. Equally important in my photographic exploration, is the spiritual and artistic link that is astonishingly evident between these two West African cultures and ancient Egypt.

I have done numerous photographic studies of African Americans in the Atlantic area (from New York to Miami, Florida) who are priest and practioners of both the Akan and Yoruba cultures, as well as photographing traditional cultures extensively in Egypt, Spain, Morocco, Southwestern Nigeria and Ghana.

Akwaaba! ¿ káàbö. I am most interested in seeing some of your work. Do you have a website? There is a brother here in Chicago who is also a professional photographer named Michael Bracey whose photography website I did. He does extensive photo documentation work throughout Abibiwiase (the Afrikan world). His site is http://www.mjbphotography.com . Check it out when you get a chance and please give us a link to your work and feel free to share some of it here at the forum internal photo gallery here: http://abibitumikasa.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Mfoni
