red

Was hanging out after dinner – enjoying a great sunset across the Indian Ocean – when this brazen dude came to see what I was doing. His eyes startled me a bit, but he was kind enough while he visited. He got some of my bread as a treat for staying to get in the shot.

parade

In town to work with the District Six Museum, other participants, and to conduct some interviews during a conference a few years back…An impressive neighborhood band led a parade after the banner painting and storytelling one evening. As the band warming up pretty much put an end to our video interviews, we had a great time talking to the band, listening… fun evening.

citrus

Looking over the pictures I’ve posted recently – they reek of dark winter. Tis the season, but the blog at least should have more color. This one took some digging into the old files but I had him in my mind to post. David sells citrus fruit at a market in Cape Town, where I’ve been buying fresh fruit from him for years. He has one of the more interesting faces I’ve seen.The charms on the post behind him? They keep dark spirits from decaying the fruit – so you now it’s good. Turns out I like my fruit without decaying darkness.
