I'm still selecting the best out of the +1500 images I shot, but included already one: smoking fish on the beach (catch sardines, spread them on the beach, cover with sand, add a layer of paper or similar, light it. If it looks like a waste dump, don't worry be happy, because it its the only thing that you can do. When the fire is out, get the fish as clean as possible, and cover it with homemade salt. Put on selfmade grills and then let the sun do its job. Et voil?: another batch of mouths that can be fed...) http://www.fullflavor.be/_0010229.jpg It is true what the say about Africa: it is completely different. I'm not up to giving in depth comments yet, because these 3,5 days have been a bit overwhelming (this is an understatement): so many people in such deplorable circumstances. And always smiling and being proud of the so little they have. It's hard to understand for us spoiled Europeans. But it makes one very humble... What I do know is this: I'm not made for PJing. I need to much time to frame, previsualise, sleep on it, come back to do it another way, ... If I look at the ones that I shot there (all the time in PJ mode because that was what I was asked to do) and that are worth keeping, I'm at 1/10th max. The rest is absolute rubbish. More to come in the next weeks. Meanwhile: feel free to comment. Thanks for looking, Philippe
