a lil flash photography

going to catch a car rapide

this was when the demonstrations were most tense in the neighborhood. the police tank had just driven by and people were throwing rocks at it. once it had passed they continued to throw rocks at this big, illuminated sign, there was a bit more of destruction like this seen in other parts of the city.

the police tank came back through.

people were hanging out all night, keeping fires going in protest.
these photos are a bit out of order but here is one of luke eating mad right before gettin' his head shaved. this fruit is real sour but tastes good mixed with sugar and a bit of red pepper. kinda like a natural sour patch kids.


baldy, lookin' weird



rims

luke got a bit of footage of some people starting the fires.








a well earned beach visit.
just thought i would put up some photos. there are some of the demonstrations. the BBC has photos of the demonstrations but they make things appear to be much more violent than they actually are. we are all safe here. waiting to see if anything will happen tonight. sending all my love!

  2. a picture being worth a thousand words and all......thanks for sharing. It's nice to see Dakar not completely engulfed in flames and riots. Not only are your new hairstyles very climate savvy, it is bound to keep all sorts of pests away!
