Seven photojournalism stories spanning six countries and three continents. From the makeshift township homes beneath the foothills of Cape Town's Table Mountain, to a child soldier's eagerness for battle in the jungle army camps of Myanmar.
From the smiles and devotion discovered within a group of Brahmin priests taking their nightly meditation on the banks of a meandering south Indian river, to the narrow alleyways of Mumbai's Dharavi slums, amid shafts of rich dust laden sunlight where smiles greet each footfall taken. A truthful depiction of lives and locations seldom seen, portrayed in an intimate presentation of documentary photography and writing.
