Description

This image was inspired by the African women who carry baskets and such on their heads as a part of their daily routine. I imagined that the balance it takes give them a certain posture and regal air. I wanted the onlookers to appreciate her beauty but not so much in a leering, sexual way (though men are a horny lot, no matter the time or place, lol). I also wanted to present an image of African life that was not National Geographic or Newsreel footage in nature. In other words this is not "look at the Africans and their strange culture" or "look at the starving Africans and child soldiers". Just people going about their lives with typical human interactions.

The original title was "The walk" but as I worked on it it seemed the old guy in the center had more focus, and that I hadn't captured the woman's walk the way I would have liked to. I like the old guy though, the wrinkles on his face, his detached expression, and the smoke from his pipe. He's thinking "If I were 20 years younger, i'd chat her up!".
