The N2 Shoot

Most people being a photographer is boring, however it is on the person to make it exciting for themselves by taking risk.

It was crunch time and our photos must be in by the end of the week. The pressure is getting to me, where can I take great photos. Then I got this image in my head of this house that I see every morning from the bus.

The Saturday morning I took the car and drove down the N2 freeway! Stopping on the side and getting out, making my way to the house. In my one hand my camera and in my pocket my pepper spay. I went though the hole in the fence and was met by a elderly black man. He was angry and starred to shout,” What are you doing here”. He had a knop kiery and started swing .

I explained that I just want to take a photo of that house. He said no I cant take photos of his cattle. I replied. “Sir I just one to take a photo of that house not of our cattle”

He stood in front of me , preventing me to take the photo. We argue for quarter of hour. He threatened me with his stick and I using my pepper spray.

He saw that I was determined to take the photo and walked down the fence.

Took the photos, when he got back I apologize to him just to show respect.

Got into the car and went home.
