Michael Christopher Brown is an American photographer who photographs the relationship between distance and honesty. His primary device for recording images is a camera phone. This photograph is titled, "The Kivus: Goma Airport" and is part of a series (CONGO.) that focuses on conflict within the Democratic Republic of Congo taken on December 14, 2012. At Goma Airport in Congo, planes abandoned due to wars and volcanic eruptions are a common site. Children often use the abandoned planes as a playground and sometimes sell parts of the planes on the streets of Goma. In the description, Brown said that photographs of this section of the airport are prohibited, however during a security vacuum the area was left unguarded and children guided him through the area.
