On June 9th, 2024, the Ga Mantse; Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, hosted a durbar in honour of Asantehene; Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Ga Mantse Palace.
Here are a few excerpts from my gallery.
So yesterday Osu wulɔmɔ and other lumɔi came together to perform Nmaa Dumɔ - Ban on drumming and noise making rites to commence Osu Homowo 2022.
I was privilege to have been there to document the ceremony.
A thread of some of the pictures.

Yesterday I visited the Ga Mantse Palace (for the first time) to familiarise myself with the place/space before tomorrow's burial service of the late GA MANNYE NAA DEDEI OMAEDRU III
Let me share some setup & activities I shot with you here.

This Saturday (29th July,2023), Osu Dade Yele Yeli - Osu will be around 5 junction.
Incase you're interested in shooting, documenting or experiencing some of the pre-homowo activities, this is one.
Below are a few pics I took from last year's.

A collection of pictures from my gallery/folder; Saturday Mornings at the Beach.
Started a project some years back, documenting random activities at the beach every Saturday morning.
From people keeping fit, swimming, surfing, playing soccer, etc...
Here is a few...

SUNDOWN AT THE BEACH
I take pleasure in framing people in line with the sun at Sundown.
What's your favorite from this collection?
1. Chesting the sun.
2. Poking the sun
3. Standing in line of the sunlight.
I'd love to hear what you think about them as well.

Why are you so focused on documenting the Ga Culture & Festivities lately?
They are my people.
Not many people are dedicated in documenting the Ga activities as much as others dedicate their time to document activities from other regions.

One thing I love to do after shooting sunrise at the beach is to go sit amongst the fishermen and listen to them while they work.
My camera comes along with me.
Have a blessed and productive week!

Ban on Fishing?
Let's mend our nets and service our vessels.

Tomorrow! Osu Alata Amanprobi & Asafo TuTswaa.
What "I" believe will be the last of all the homowo activities, will be taking place in Osu.
There will lots of gunshots happening as it's the key element of that activity. So if you are phonophobia, carry an earpiece along.
With each passing generation, we're the link to preserving what's sacred.
In this delicate dance of past and present's sway,
our essence & spirit forever shall stay.
In unity and respect, we'll proudly stand,
Guardians of our heritage, hand in hand.

Osu is celebrating their twin festival today.
You can pass through later on around 3:30/4pm to see their procession to the beach.
Your best location to get a good view would be at 5 junction, close to the night market.

"I once gave a bucket of fish to a lady for free because the one who wanted to buy it thought I was cheating her. So I rather gave it to a stranger for free.
Later that day, I caught some of the biggest fish at the beach. Generosity pays." - Koots3

Soccer at Sunset.
Met some kids playing football during sunset at the beach.
I can't help but think, "One of them will emerge as a superstar in the future."
When was the last time you played ball at the beach? 🤔

A thread of pictures I've taken so far
This morning on my Saturday beach diaries, I came across a small team of rugby 🏉 players.
I was really intrigued by their training and seeked permission from their coach (Coach Eric) if I could take some pictures for them which he gladly approved.
