Distant Observations
There is a level of intimacy that can not be obtained without time. I do not always have to time to really talk to the people I encounter and observe, thus I have titled this collection distant observations. However, there are some photographs that will portray moments of found intimacy, but lack any other information beyond what is in the photograph. I do not want the images in this collection to become your definition of South Africa. I am one person spending a brief amount of time in a large country rich with history and culture among other things. Please view this collection simply as my interpretation of what I have experienced in South Africa and nothing more. - Miranda Ploss "2013"
