Photographing Ubuntu

How do you photograph ubuntu? I find it hard enough explaining ubuntu.

The definition of ubuntu which I fall back on is 'I am because you are'. When I was contacted by the New York Times to illustrate this in a story I was excited. When I realised that it was for the sports section I was confused. I won't ruin the story but I will say that in this rural community there certainly seems to be something present that we are missing in the cities.

I had the opportunity to spend time with some really happy kids, most of whom loved being the subject of a photograph. And I hope to visit there again in the not too distant future.
