A good dose of humility. I've wanted to scrap these pictures for a while, but I knew that I needed to be in a certain mood. For me, it wasn't so important this time to make a pretty page as it was to tell the story of an experience that altered me. While I was in South Africa last May, I had the chance to go on a tour of Soweto (where Hector Pieterson was shot and where Nelson Mandela lived during apartheid). There was one part of the tour where we got out of the van and walked, with a resident, through one of...
