On a warm summer‚ afternoon in Cape Town I received a brown envelope, officially stamped with the emblem of Home Affairs. I had acquired my first passport. That same month I finished High School and my dreams of traveling were becoming reality. The race was on. I was off to fill up the pages of my little green book with all sorts of stamps before the expiration date arrived. Needless to say, I won the race and now have a maxi passport. The world has become my canvas and a camera my tool.
