Overcoming the obstacles of a drunken, absentee father, a schizophrenic mother and a bedridden grandmother who helped raise him, the only meal often being only what he got at school.  Joseph was first sponsored by GCF at Rhotia Primary school.  As a strong student, this sponsorship then took him to Diego Secondary school and on to University.

It was there his interest in photography spiraled. GCF bought his first camera and he realized he could make a decent living, hanging around schools and Universities photographing graduates.

Here’s his latest advert….

Joseph is now an orphan as he lost the grandmother who took care of him the best she could.
He sent me this message a few weeks ago and I want to also share that with you both.
