My son and I stayed in Asmara, Eritrea for approximately three months. Upon arrival, I first found accomodations for a few weeks in a nicely appointed downtown hotel, located on the main street. I would later rent a two bedroom flat at the Sembal Complex for the duration of our stay in-country.
These photos are only a few of my captures while roaming the city of Asmara. Most are in black & white but with a few in color. I used a Nikon F camera with 35mm film. I was happy to fine a component professional film developer who was more than willing and able to assist me. These are digital scans of old photographic prints.
