Day Eighteen: Oh SNAPS!

The smartest business man around here is this photographer that shows up everyday to take pictures or Snaps as the Nigerians say. He takes pictures everyday and then brings prints of them the next day to sell for 100naira (about 75cents). The students love this and collect them all...the photographer also knows the student's faces, and if they try to take a snap and he knows they aren't buying the snaps he tells them no...great business model.

The only problem with these snaps is they never ever ever stop...snaps all day, snaps all night, snaps snaps snaps. Once you take one, students run up to you and want one and then another student, and it will go on for 20mins if you don't pull yourself away. Hide.

I followed Ahmet down the hall the other day and quietly said "snap" in his ear, he turned around so quickly with a look that was about to say no more!

When will be done with these snaps? When every student has 10 snaps with us? 100 snaps with us? 200 snaps? one million snaps?

AH SNAP!
