I shot this picture a while ago with my Contax G1 and just liked the old look of this picture, there’s definitely something about shooting with film that you just don’t get when shooting digital. 

I found this guy sleeping on the streets of Johannesburg on a recent trip to downtown.  I felt sad for the people down there, drinking their sorrows away…  I think he was dreaming that South Africa would become the 53rd State of America!

My friend Simon is visitng me from London and he is also a photographer, infact, I should say, more of a photographer than I am, but that’s not really the point.  So, he has been spending many days actually living down on the Cape Flats where most South Africans wouldn’t even dare walk!  He has told me some crazy stories about the people down there and I can’t even imagine what it must be like to experience that.  Anyways, he came back to JHB for a couple days and we went and shot some pictures in downtoan JHB with our friend JJ who kinda knows the scene down there and he guided us around to get some shots.  These are mine.
