About Many of the almost 80 people living on waste at a local municipal dump site. Currently about seventeen families live here, they are outcasts from their respective suburbs due to some misbeahviour in the past. These people are the poorest of the poor and will literally eat anything. Here they crowd among a truck full of old vegetables not fit for sellng at the market. This is my first visit to the site and I am determined to work towards a sustainable solution to help them get back their dignity and start living and enjoying life as normal people - especially the many children trapped in these atrocious circumstances.

Anybody on Usefilm who are serious about this and want to become involved in real solutions are welcome to contact me at joggievs@telkomsa.net

I like this kind of photo much. It could bring you much information. The tone is also great. Did you use Paint-Shop-Pro9 to create it??

Reagrds,

thanks for "about" Joggie;
like the atmosphere you captured here but I would like to see their faces;
regards
Lukasz

Hi Lukasz - thanks for the comment. I took this against the sun, trying to capture the silhouetes against the dust to show that element of the environment. The two other shots i uploaded show some of the faces. Take care.

Ji Nason - I took this in colour and used CS Elements (Photoshop) to do the conversion. Take care.

Hi Joggie,

First thing that struck me is that you can't see the faces....and I like it this way, I think the statement is more powerful.

Very well done,
Lori

What an indictment on the wastefulness of so many more affluent societies.
God be with you, Joggie!
My best regards, Chris
