Cape Town


On December 5, 2013,  Nelson Mandela died.

  
He was one of my heroes. 


 In his memory I thought I’d post some photos from my trip to Cape Town. 


 They were taken in January 2000 and I was there to shoot a Sprint commercial.  


Things were kind of dicey. 


President Mandela had just stepped down to allow for democratic elections. 


There was rioting in the streets. 


And, the Hard Rock Café was bombed.  


But, democracy prevailed and he lived long enough to see the fruitful results of his efforts. 


I guess you can’t ask for much more than that.


Ciao
