One of the coolest book and it comes with a poster !

About the photographer :
Photographer Jacob Nzudie was born in Baleng, Cameroon in 1964. Introduced to photography as a teenager when his parents gave him a 35 mm camera in golden plastic, he instantly became infatuated with documenting his distinct observations - a self-proclaimed ‘curious teenager’ only interested in retaining the purest, simplest and genuine depictions of families, of real people, of his community – it is that which invigorated his skill and soul the most.
