In the Highlands of Zimbabweby ~JakezDaniel

Photography / People & Portraits / Spontaneous Portraits

Mutare, East of Zimbabwe
Nov. 2006

There's a mountain full of forests and on the top of the mountain the house this man takes care of with his family.
We were in the house for the weeks of our stay. When we were not at work down in the town, I was taking pictures of the beautiful landscape, the flowers, the birds in the garden or on the red ground road going down the mountain...
The day before we left, he was looking disappointed and reproached me, that I didn't take him in picture. I said it wasn't a problem, I didn't know he wanted. So he ran to put a necktie and came back in the garden for this portrait.

This is during this trip that I got my first portraits of more or less unknown people. Actually it wasn't difficult.

Oh I love those people!
Oh what has become of you?

~chocolatenoir wrote The history that exists behind this photography is very affectionate. There is not doubt that it is a spontaneous portrait. There is not doubt of the kindness in the expression of the guy. There is not doubt that those people are fantastic. There is not doubt that Africa deserves to be treated by more respect.
Thank you Jordi.
