Just a brief
background to my Soweto trips & Other Townships
During Apartheid
I would go into Soweto as well as Alexandra and take photographs
of people living under Apartheid.
I also photographed
Nelson Mandela in Soweto on his first day of freedom after 27
years.
I have the
privilege of having one of my photographs of Nelson Mandela in
the permanent exhibition of Nelson Mandela at the Nelson Mandela
Foundation (Centre of Memory) in Johannesburg.
I have been
a photojournalist for most of my life, worked in South Africa,
Israel, United States, Ethiopia and Vietnam.
My Soweto
trips are based on the principals of the "Five senses"
Sight - Visually
documenting Soweto and its people and getting to understand Soweto
and how it was during Apartheid and getting to know present day
Soweto.
Hearing -
I make sure the people that I take learning to hear "African
city sounds".
Taste - We
get to taste some street food
Smell - let's
leave this one out. (Actually no. We smell great cooking smells.)
Touch - Meet
and shake hands and sometimes dance with the people of Soweto.
Photography
All the photos that I shoot during the trip are uploaded to WeTransfer
to your email addres for the people to download when they get
back home.
