Default Everyday life at Kawaza Village

Here are some images of people just getting on with their daily lives

Probably would have been better from in front but it wasn't an option

When I took this shot I thought it would look right in B&W so hope you agree

Hope you enjoy them

A very natural selection Sheldon, nothing is forced, or artificial, nor staged, you have captured village life perfectly

Thanks Steve - the one really good thing about shooting here is that you have a village guide who is a villager so he tells you in advance to shoot whatever you want and he will warn you when not too - I think the only person I asked was the man in the B&W image in this set - he was the elder statesman of a little family group and I just felt out of respect I should

Sheldon, You very much get the feel for the pace of life and the daily activities needed to sustain life in this Kawaza village. Your final photo, however, is perfect in every way. It is magazine good! Wow!

Thanks for that - not sure about the magazine good but certainly the sort of perspective they would like

Interesting photos. I like the last one best with the ears of corn and the grains on the ground
