Over a year ago we posted two images on our other website "la vie est belle souvent" When you post an article or photos you never know entirely what reaction you will get from the readers. But the two images have enchanted and were love by thousands of people all over the world. And still after a year they are tweeted, re-tweeted and shared on the net. We love them too.
We are sharing them with you on The Mdantsane Way even though they are not directly related to Mdantsane. The Esplanade or beachfront in East London is however a very popular destination for many especially on the week-end and during holidays. It's a place to relax, linger, get take-aways, watch the activities out at sea, listen to music in your car and just spend time with the people you love, like this young father with his son!
A moment, a street photographer dreams off. He was entirely dedicated to his son, there was no hurry, no rush, no pushing and no we-have-to-go-somewhere-now-now. It was a man to man, a father and son moment and you can feel the peace of this morning shared together in the images long after it is gone.
Moments like these are the reason why we believe in the power of a positive journalism. There is so much love in South Africa. Let's show the love to the world, not the hate!
