RAW

It’s the sense of RAW emotion portrayed in the eyes. The eyes that eat at your soul. That beg your attention…eyes that long for freedom. Freedom of the mind, freedom of the body, freedom of expression, freedom from poverty and freedom of the soul.

Twenty Ten a tourist guide

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 3, 2009, 10:23 AM
It is as it should be


The upcoming Soccer World Cup in South Africa is the motivation behind this short guide to Johannesburg, one of the capital cities of our country...yes I did say "cities", for some weird reason..we are to confused to have one capital..so we decided to have three instead.. That provides for the equitable distribution of government corruption.

DRIVING

In my short stay in Gauteng, I have noticed a distinct difference in the driving behavior of the road users of this Province.

Firstly...you must drive a LARGE vehicle, as the size of the vehicle determines the right of way. You must also drive a BMW as it gives you a certain status. Immaterial of the fact that you driving a 1400 BMW that is falling apart. As long as the head lights work...that is all that matters..as you flash the Cape Town drivers to pull over, so you may pass. In Cape Town..driving is a pleasure..everyone is laid back..traffic jams are rare..and if they do occur, people actually do not find them annoying and can be seen to be singing in cars..nodding to music...or just smiling.

The way the Gauteng driver behaves..is similar to people with a serious drug addiction..their erratic driving was a mystery....until recently...I think I have found the reason...THEY ARE ADDICTED TO DIESEL SMOKE.... How did I come to this conclusion??? Well....

I am driving on this open stretch of road..this fucker comes behind me...in his BMW...flashing his lights...wanting me to pull over...just so he can pass...No concern for the lack of pavement...he expects me to pull over onto the grass...and for one reason only...he WANTS..no HE NEEDS to be behind the slow moving truck in front of me...he needs to sniff the diesel fumes..he needs to inhale pollution..it is his morning kick...and he travels behind the truck for a few minutes..settles his addiction...and races to the next truck..

so if you see our drivers..flashing behind you..please give way...its a habit they trying hard to break....


if this is my normal life.... it is as it should be

Take care :heart:

deviantID

I have been involved in photography for a while now and my travels through Africa have exposed me to almost every conceivable horror known to man. This in itself has honed my ability to capture the essence of the soul of my subjects. I try not to focus my photography in a single direction, but I find myself doing more and more portraits. I love photographs of children, as they are the most innocent of all subjects. I am currently based in Pretoria, South Africa..and I am totally besmitten by my love.. =cfoto
