If you're a keen photographer you'll probably burn your whole memory card in one short visit. But let me tell you one thing...if you don't have a big zoom or if you are considerate enough to ask permission before taking the picture you can forget about taking spontaneous pictures:) You know, those spontaneous pictures you see in exhibitions and national geographic:)
Eish...it starts out like this "Molo,...bla bla bla...can I take a picture of you?" Usually they are more than happy to pose.....only now and then you get some that refuse the opportunity of a photo shoot:) As you take the first few shots...
they start gathering all the immediate family, extended family, children, neighbours... everyone.... This is a funny sight... yelling, laughing, gathering of the children. They are all just so excited that you get sucked into the feeling in no time... and pretty soon, if you're not careful you end up on the other side of the camera:)
before you leave be sure to take some time and show them the pics you've taken...you won't hear the end of it...the gratitude and enthusiasm... Offer to bring them a copy or two and than of course be the man/woman of your words. My list is getting bigger and bigger, I will need one full day to do the deliveries...but I cant' wait for those smiles to light up again:)
