In Zanzibar there are dhows (Zanzibari boats) scattered across the water at all times of day.
This shot makes me think of a toy boat. I really like it because it's not photoshopped at all, I just played with the film speed to make the image more sensitive to light.
This is the same boat, but the picture is taken with a different speed.
In Stonetown we saw a slavery memorial.
Right next to the memorial is an Anglican church. The church probably has more information concerning the slave trade than the memorial. Before the altar is a variation in the floor tile color. The circle represents the location of the whipping post, the black tile symbolizes the skin of the African people, and the red mixed in is the blood that was shed for slavery.
On a different note, Derrick took this photo.
This is Stonetown as seen from one of our hotel rooms.
Derrick had a pair of nifty leather sandals custom made while in Stonetown. The cobbler actually already took the measurements, but he insisted that I take a photo of the momentous event. So this shot is entirely posed and nothing is actually happening except Derrick stepping on a piece of paper.
The sandals were finished only a few hours later!
I thought this shop was really cool.
