    Jade and Breeze, life-long friends and artists on the streets of Newtown in Johannesburg. Speaking to them, they told me graffiti is one of the few tools they have to get by when times are hard; art, expression and entertainment are always rife in Johannesburg when contentment is not.© Robynne Peatfield 2012 Views[378] A learner at Thobeka Primary School in Soweto in Johannesburg. Education is a struggle and an expansion in South Africa, where we only have a 24.3% university entry pass rate. After spending a couple of days at this school, these children are on a road where there is no passion to be found in playing small and in settling for a life that is less than the one they are capable of living, no matter what their circumstances.© Robynne Peatfield 2012 Views[524] Maphikelela allowed me to photograph him while he rested on the streets of Johannesburg. He is homeless and finds a place to sleep where he can while looking for a job. The BMW parked near him is a tangible symbol of the inequality found in Johannesburg and South Africa. © Robynne Peatfield 2012 Views[267] Human settlement in Johannesburg dates back 25 000 years and the buildings are centuries old. This is a deserted building in the middle of the hustling city, but light-hearted beauty can be found in the contrast of the newfound advertisements placed near a building that is so historic in stature. © Robynne Peatfield 2012 Views[298] The Nelson Mandela Bridge in the CBD of Johannesburg. The bridge spans 250m and boasts the rainbow-coloured lights of our South African flag at night, lighting up the city and the traffic of taxis and travellers.© Robynne Peatfield 2012 Views[1303]
