Market Day in Burkina Faso Is a Feast for the Eyes

The village of Bereba, Burkina Faso, is remote, with no electricity and no running water. The land is flat and featureless, and the average daily temperature is around 100ºF. What would keep a photographer from northern California, with no previous knowledge or desire to go to Africa, coming back every year for the past decade, staying four or five weeks at a time? On Friday, the main market day in Bereba, the village is noisy, colorful, crowded, and vibrant, says photographer David Pace.
