Elizabeth closed her eyes, remembering running through this same tall grass as a little girl. She opened her eyes, but the memory is still there.
The series Origin was a collaboration between La Marzocco, Leica and Jakob de Boer to bring awareness to the Songwa Region of Tanzania's Rift Valley and help to elevate the individuals whose laborious efforts make it possible to supply the world's enormous demand for coffee. "It's a journey that always begins and ends in the same place - in someone's hands." 10% of the proceeds of all sales for this print are donated to benefit the Songwa social responsibility project for rebuilding a local school and providing water wells.
