#Africa

I’ve taken a lot of photographs in the developing world. And I’ve done a lot of photo-shares.

Day camp in Kagiso – a township surrounded by factories and mine dumps on Johannesburg’s far western edge – is much like day camp at the average American YMCA. But with a lot more singing and dancing.

I don’t write often about South African government and politics. Politics here are complicated and contentious – even more so than other countries I think, due to South Africa’s incredibly tumultuous history over the last half-century. As a foreigner who only moved here a year ago, I generally don’t presume to understand South Africa’s history and current affairs well enough to provide my own commentary.
