Favourites
These are some of my favourite images by myself during the last two months. Seeing as I have started my own blog I thought it well to start building up a base of things I have captured thus far.
Some of them I like for their artistic merit and others for the context they were taken in. Feel free to comment and give constructive criticism.

| Members of the far right community is South Africa gathered in Delmas in Mpumalanga to protest against the killing of a 5 month old baby, Wiehann Bothes, and his 55 year old caretaker as well as the farm murders. The protest turned into a racially motivated event with racist slogans being chanted and written on signs. The old South African flag was also flown and old Apartheid Era insignia being donned. The march ended after one of the members burned the SA flag outside the Municipal offices. PHOTO: FRANCO MEGANNON |
