The story of an old camera, a postcard and our cat

It is the story of a day when our cat was ready to have a portrait taken, where the sky was very gray, where I wanted a nod to the country dear to my heart, Burkina Faso, and where I took a picture of the #Cord47 camera, with which I had an interesting experiment a few days earlier. And I finished this film in the evening, just before taking the aperitif! A new album made with the fantastic #Kowa SIX camera, given by my brother last Christmas.

    Africa's Che Guevara - I almost forgot him; but he was one of the great African leaders trying justice and equality - also in the relation to the "powerful west". David and Goliath so to say - unfortunately in "our current" reality Goliath wins.

    @rolfmg He is one of the heroes of my adolescence. He was murdered when I was 16, so I made a promise to myself that I would someday go to Burkina Faso. What I did then many times, since I made 21 trips to Burkina Faso between 2001 and 2019.
    Thomas Sankara was the subject of a remarkable film, released in 2014 (the postcard is also the poster of the film): www.capitainethomassankara.net/index.html

    @gheinz Besten Dank - auch für den filmlink...ich freue mich, dass es Gleichgesinnte gibt. Mein Fokus war zwar mehr das östliche und südliche Afrika/lusophone Afrika (habe ja eine Dekade dort gelebt) (meine Helden waren also mehr Mandela, Nkrumah, Nyerere, Machel und Lumumba) aber für mich sind diese Personen nach wie vor Helden...

    @rolfmg Bitte schön. Afrika ist eine Lebenserfahrung, und als ich Lehrer war (ich habe Geschichte und Erdkunde unterrichtet), sprach ich von all diesen afrikanischen Helden.
    Der grosse Boulevard in der Innenstadt von Ouagadougou heisst übrigens Avenue Kwame Nkrumah...
