nefermaathotep: THIS IS HOW WE LOST OUR CULTURE…Converts to Christianity marked their adherence to a new religion by changing the way they dressed. They adopted westernized clothes that signaled them as Christians, as did this Catholic woman in Dakar, Senegal.1935They laughed at your clothes; and made you change your clothes, they laughed at your names; and made you change your names; but most importantly they laughed at your God; and made you change your God.” - John Henrik Clarke

ixplosion: Serra da Leba, Angola Photograph by Kostadin Luchansky, Your Shot This is Serra da Leba, a landmark in Angola. It has been one of the country’s postcard images for decades, but all shots were taken by day. I needed something different. I decided to try a night shot, but it seemed impossible: pitch black, foggy, an altitude of 1,800 meters (5,000 feet). My Nikon can stay open as long as 60 seconds max. But a car takes a few minutes to climb and descend and complete the “drawing.” The fog was blocking! Suddenly the fog cleared, a car went down, another went up, and they met in the middle in under 60 seconds. Painting done. (This photo and caption were submitted to Your Shot.)
