James Barnor, now turning 95, is Ghana’s most renowned photojournalist.

So amazing. He is very profound and articulate even at his age. I am glad he is getting the recognition he deserves.
Hes young dang
Proudly Ghanaian 🇬🇭
He is so mentally sharp even at 95. What a blessing!
A legend to be remembered. Kudos. Ayekoo for writing the story of Ghana with "light" and "shooting" people with the tiny obscura and freezing the moment in time.

Did u say this man is 95 ? Woooow he looks Soo good
God bless you Legend ❤
Indeed very beautiful,the positive side of photo journalism .Long live Ghana,James Barnor,true legend who shall leave a legacy behind.
Now the other side of the coin,Negative side of the soul of photojournalists who find themselves reporting in conflict war torn countries amidst human suffering.Indeed horrifying scenes of their photography or witnessing human suffering affect them over time.
How should they be celebrated for their bravery?Should there be a retirement age for such journalist just like the armed forces/men of any country should they not die in war.
Boils down again to the most debated controversial image ever in history of South African photojournalist Kevin Carter.
Indeed War knows no race,no religion,it's only an enemy to human existence and poses even higher risk to the next generation ☹️.
Great!

His spirit is beautiful and I’m sure that’s kept him alive and healthy for so long! I hope he has children or other family members that can maintain his original works in one day do a showcase of them!
Things we love and live to see: people driven with passion and strong work ethics. Legendary🔥
