It is a beautiful country, indeed. Just feels good to sit around and do nothing, while enjoying the view and the people passing. A shot from a distance.

As I sat at my table having my drink, this guy walked up to me and we started chatting. I loved the contrast of his hair color and his skin. I wondered if he has always had his hair white. . .  So I asked him.  He said I should wait  and see what age will do to my hair. I told him, " age" treats his hair beautifully / We both laughed.

Mar 22, 2015

Sunday 6 A.M,  This side of the world, 

Hundreds of people gather at the beach for a weekly exercises, including jogging, and stretching and everything else in between. Very impressive to see. 

I run into this guy every Sunday. As the crowd get together. His, is to clean people's car for  some "change", which he does very well. 

I asked him if I could take a picture of him. He said " Yes". 

This  is one of my favorite black and white photos.

The Hair
Jan 10, 2015

This is how the hair looks on African women's head,before they decide to go into a war with it , and destroy it completely, by adding all sort of chemicals and crazy products to it. Eventually this beautiful hair fades out , breaks completely and stop growing. It turns into something unrecognizable and ugly. 

I pray that this beautiful young girl keeps her hair natural as long as possible, and that the adults around her do not intervene with their power to destroy this beautiful God given hair.

It was a long and hot day. I was sitting in my car waiting for my buddy to come back. This man approached me and we started a conversation. He eventually saw the camera sitting on the back seat , and he asked me if I could take a picture of him. Of course, I said. So here is a picture of my friend.

This guy spent lot of time waiting for me so I can take his photo. Nicely dressed, in his Sunday best, before heading to church. I figured I should try both color and black and white. This is how it comes out.
