Website Update: Microsoft, I'm a PC - Outtakes

Last night, I hammered out some new HTML pages with outtakes from last year's Microsoft shoot. I can't believe last year at this time I was finishing up a wild spurt of traveling for this project. I wrote a little bit about the project at the beginning of the year in this post: website update: Microsoft, I'm a PC.

Below, are a few outtakes that I have gathered together that were just posted to my website here. I might post some more but these fill in a few areas that are burned into my memory. Places and people that were not chosen to be in the final edit. This set is in reverse chronological order beginning with the afternoon shoot in Johannesburg, South Africa.

After shooting early in the morning in Cape Town the crew bus ran everyone to the airport for the 2 hour flight to Johannesburg. Where we were met with a local crew and whisked from the airport to the township of Kilptown and their community center the Kliptown Youth Program. This Community center is part of the One Laptop Per Child initiative, so they had lots of computers for the kids to work and learn with. enjoy.

The image above was taken at Aquila Private Game Reserve and Safari - an amazing place where the animals they have taken in to help heal and keep safe have a massive amount of space to roam free. Truly amazing to see elephants, lions, rhinos and countless other animals in this setting.

Great to see OLPCs in South Africa - the South African Government never displays such programmes.
BTW...
Tigers live in Asia not Africa. Why are the two always lumped together when people talk of safaris?

I think Africa is a country with big potential and I guess it would be better for humanity if we would try to fight together for the same goal, but I guess this won't happen very soon because of all the political interests.
