Joy

During my time in South Africa, I was able to catch the cheerful play of two children while exploring Digital Pinhole Photography in Hout Bay. For me, the pictures raise ambigious emotions by watching the children play joyfully within an unsafe environment and with an uncertain future. How long will children stay unburdened within a multi-racial society characterized by poverty and crime. Pinhole photography with its soft and out-of-focus outcome emphasizes the ease of the children's play. But the blurred vision also shows the fugacity of this moment.
