The last kings of Africa

Art historian and photographer Alfred Weidinger traveled across Africa looking for royalty. He created a photography project that he calls "the last kings of Africa". His goal is to capture the beauty and to find the regions last kings. He started this project in 1979, with no guide to help him track down Africa's leaders. He does not have a plan. When he finds one king he hopes that they will be able to help lead him to others.
The biggest problem that Weidinger faced while on this trip was cell phones and technology not being accepted. What is Weidinger planning on doing with all of these pictures? What is his purpose for this photography project?
