A group of kids help push a wagon stacked with sugarcane through the narrow alleyways of Stone Town.

Thanks to Tamryn for the collaborative input for the title of this pic

Each narrow alleyway in Stone Town leads to square or a marketplace, areas where men sit and drink coffee, where women invite passers by into their shops, and where kids meet and play with their toy guns.

While passing through a narrow corridor in Stone Town, Zanzibar, I spotted a couple of kids playing and laughing at the entrance of a building. One kid was hanging from the door, smiling mischievously into the camera. This is one of those pics shot whilst walking past an intriguing scene – it is a bit blurred around the edges, but the smile is definitively in focus!

Picture taken in Grahamstown, March 1st 2006, with my good old Nikon D100.

I recently found this image in my archive. Most people who look at this picture are convinced it has been manipulated, and yes, the saturation levels have obviously been changed, but that’s all! I think I’ll post the original colour pic some time to compare it with this one.

This is one of my favourite pictures. It was taken at Pumba Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape whilst I was documenting a school outing to the game reserves’ lion enclosure.

At one stage I noticed this teacher holding one of her schoolkids, standing in front of the lion enclosure, and a lioness standing behind her – very still and focused (hungry?). The teacher didn’t really know if she should smile into the camera or escape the close proximity of the lioness – hence the slight nervous look in her eyes.

Another moment captured at Hout Bay Harbour.

Once again, I took this picture not only because of the action taking place but because I like incorporating other people taking photographs in my pictures.
