Daniel, I like the photos and the commentary very
much.

This photo really stands out:

It reminds me of some of Guy Tillim's Malawi portraits

As you may know, I make a couple trips to southern
Africa a year, mostly South Africa, mostly Cape Town. 
I'm struck by how different my African experiences are
from yours.  In some ways, that is.  In others, not so
different.  The people are marvelous.  These kids, for
instance:
