| Anton, you do have a remarkable gift for capturing people in still images in a very revealing way, both when they are candid and unguarded, and also when their guard is up. Well done - and many thanks for sharing your work.

| Love them all but the old woman with the pierced nose in B/W was absolutely brilliant! And photos of the kids always make me smile...
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Amazing photographs. The one of the wrinkled old woman is an award winner for sure !!
I agree. There anything more stunning than a well composed black and white photograph of a madala or old woman whose face tells a thousand tales. Very nice.

| Great photography and brings back memories. The city kids (boys) with the little tin buckets collect for the local mosques. Nothing wrong with that but there has been some discussion if the money goes to the mosques/madrasas or if filtered back to AQIM (active and inactive throughout that area). I avoid any issues by just handing out food or candy.
The door is of course the infamous 'Door of No Return' in the House of Slaves on Goree Island.
Little game remains in Cote d'Ivoire due to the war and poverty. I recommend Burkina Faso. The game parks are decently managed and there are still vast areas with few people. Drives to Burkina were a relaxing mental break for me after living in CdI and dealing with the former government in the South and the rebels (current government) in the North. Super friendly people, too. |
