From Khayelitscha to Atlanta, GA

Altanta, GA

















She had never been out of her township, on a plane, in a hotel. She arrived in America with very little to say. She took it all in silence. Finally, on our way from the airport to her dorm room, I asked Sibahle what she thought of America...

The Bodyguard

Guguletu, South African

















He wore his sunglasses at all hours of the day and night. And never took off his hat. And had a fantastic leather trench coat that I wish I could pull off, but know better

Lost In Transition

Cape Town International / Schiphol Airport, Holland



I've been in transit for 3 days now.
Slowly making my way from Africa to America, with visa problems, flight problems, money problems, schedule problems.

I've been reading The Duino Elegies, with my overpriced airport concessions, and pint sized beers.

Last night, I rented a drawer-bed by the hour, and converted my rand into euros for the purchase of a toothbrush.

This morning, I am watching a dutch show about oil painting and re-reading The Duino Elegies.

I am also drinking alot of coffee and updating my blog.
