I Love You Real Fast, by Krisanne Johnson, is a photography project documenting the coming of age rites of young women amid the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Swaziland. "Coming of age for Swazi girls is tough. A tiny African kingdom of 1 million, Swaziland reports the highest percentage of HIV positive people in the world, with the hardest hit being women aged 15-29." This project is a work in progress.
