A cat in the Golden Hour

When I first looked at these series of sailing snaps – actually photographed during the much-vaunted Golden Hour as darkness was setting in – I was quite disappointed… why aren’t they all bright and colourful? And I spent some time trying to get them to look all Kodachrome, with bright and shiny colours (than you Mr Simon). Now, revisiting, however, I’m just letting them mostly be, in their golden buttery splendour.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: In June 2007 the KZN parliament passed the Prevention of Slums Bill in the Provincial Parliament. The Bill compels landowners to evict shackdwellers, on the threat of arrest and criminalises resistance to evictions. The provincial Department of Housing, that brought the Bill to the Provincial Parliament, has repeatedly stated that ‘the slums will be cleared by 2010 in KwaZulu-Natal’. The Bill has been heavily criticised by academics, human rights organisations and civil society. The shack dwellers’ movement Abahlali baseMjondolo is planning mass mobilising against the Bill and is also taking the matter to the Constitutional Court with support from a pro bono legal centre.
