Doctor Marten's & overfishing

Met a fisherman named Cheikh on the beach at St Louis in Senegal who explained how the Senegalese government's selling off the offshore fishing rights to European companies has left many of the local fishermen struggling because they're no longer allowed to fish off the coast of Senegal.

While we talked I couldn't help noticing his juxtaposition of Islamic dress & blue Dr Marten's - kind of 'early '90s Camden Market' meets Sufism

Cyclist in St Louis, Senegal

Cadeau!

Drawn in St Louis, Senegal which is a riot of faded colonial grandeur, goats & kids who see us toubabs (general west african term for white people) as a great chance for possible 'cadeaus'. It's also strange to see the variety of European/ American logos juxtaposed against the features of African towns. Orange logos abound in Senegal & the English Premiership is everywhere!
