Recycle

In Orange Farm, one of the largest 'informal' settlements in Johannesburg, one couple has started a recycling center to both clean up the community and provide jobs and training to the people there. To call the Itsoseng Women's Center a shoestring operation is an understatement.

Morning, Orange Farm

Orange Farm is one of the largest "informal" settlements outside Johannesburg, with the bulk of the housing like this shack. There is electric, and water infrastructure was just installed in the last few months - though the roads have not been paved since.

I've been using Fuji Pro color film in the Holga and love how it generally renders the deep blues of the sky.

Roof Walker

I saw this guy scamper up the ladder (visible angled away from the right rear corner of the building) onto the roof and watched as he walked along the perimeter of the top of the building. I had one frame left, no more film with me and he disappeared from sight. I stood there, waiting and watching, until he finally reappeared. He was moving so quickly I had no idea whether I caught him or how well I framed the photo. Pleasantly surprised when the film came back.
