I recently took another short photo walk around the township of Alexandra here in Johannesburg, South Africa. There’s always something going on with the hustle and bustle of people flowing in and out of the houses and alleyways. This old guy approached me and was very eager to get his picture taken. This is him.

These are some shots that I took over the weekend at the skatepark in Alexander Township in Johannesburg. I always knew it existed but never knew where it was and I have to say, I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. It’s a huge park with loads to skate and ride on and the kids there are cool which, for me, is key. I really don’t care to hang out with a bunch of people that think they’re cooler than everyone else because they skate or ride better. Who cares, we’re all there to have fun anyways. It was fun watching these guys rip on their bikes and even more fun shooting some photos. Thanks to the people that built the skatepark and gave those kids a place to go to and do something positive, it beats most of the parks I’ve seen in upper to middle class neighborhoods.

I was driving out in the middle of nowhere, close to a town called Nigel here in South Africa… I was actually trying to meet up with some people but got lost along the way and stumbled across this little scene. Pulled my car up and spoke to the man and tried to understand his broken english… He agreed to let me shoot some photos and even called his dog over to get involved! I shot these photos, gave the man a candy treat and was on my way. I love how Africa has these strange things goin on in the most un-suspecting places, all you gotta do is get off the main roads and get yourself lost.
