Breakfast with artists can look a little different. Most of us were armed with cameras as Luke and Howard did the cooking. While it may have appeared that we were wandering aimlessly in and around the tent, we were searching for images that would tell the story of Africa and its people in a compelling way. Thinking that we might appreciate subject matter of the people-type, Bob Guild, one of the directors of Kwaggafontein, put several of us into his truck and drove us to the "plaza" for some people watching. Our ability to photograph Africans just going about daily living had been very limited until now, so when he said we had permission to photograph anyone and everyone, we wasted no time. The plaza is a strip mall in Kwa-Ndebele, a short drive from where we were staying. A grocery store, general store, and KFC sort of place. Bob led us down the nearby side streets where there were the more typical vendor stands of the community. Here, many people wanted their photographs taken, especially with the young women on the team.
