"Street Photography"

A shot from tomorrow at St Helena Bay. While we were waiting for the snoek boats to start arriving, I was surreptitiously trying to grab a few shots. If I was to see a man with a knife behind his back out in public, anywhere else except right here, I would get myself out of the area very quickly in this country where life is cheap and poverty and gangs is a way of life for some.

Lovely capture of daily life there. I see what you mean, in a different context this would be so worrying.

@narayani Thanks very much.

@koalagardens Yes you are right - there could be loads of stories imagined in this little scene

@pattyblue In fact I got quite a fright when I first saw him with a knife behind his back, and then realised where we were he was probably waiting with his knife to prepare a fresh fish right there - or he was perhaps one of the team of workers. Like a building contractor provides his own tools, these folk probably bring their own knives.
