Lines Dividing Rich And Poor Captured With Drones
For his new project “Unequal Scenes” Cape Town-based photographer Johnny Miller used a drone to show the inequality that exists in the Republic of South Africa.
“Discrepancies in how people live are sometimes hard to see from the ground. The beauty of being able to fly is to see things from a new perspective – to see things as they really are. Looking straight down from a height of several hundred meters, incredible scenes of inequality emerge.” – wrote Miller.
Miller explains that some of the communities were “designed with separation in mind,” while others grew “more or less organically.” This is the result of the Apartheid policies when racial segregation was enforced by law. While these policies were eliminated 22 years ago, in reality, “many of these barriers, and the inequalities they have engendered, still exist.”

In Brazil is almost the same, but it ocurred much more organically, as this photo from Sao Paulo city (Paraisopolis neighborhood). desigualda...b163ef.jpg

There has always been income inequality and there always will be. To make everyone equal is to bring all down to the lowest level. That is communism and it doesn't work.

It's possible there is a new form of government that we have not thought of *yet* that will resolve a lot of our issues including inequality. The sooner we stop dwelling on what didn't work in the past, the sooner we can move forward.

Sadly, this is the same case in the States. Fly over any major city and you'll see the separation. Even driving, you can definitely tell when you've "crossed the tracks." Instead of dealing with the problem, though, many people just choose to hide it, like in the pic from the golf course.

Amazing juxtapositions; the gap between rich and poor is not as wide as we think.

People come from all over Africa to the southern most parts where the climate is harshly cold and wet in the winter months. Local government delivering services and reliable, affordable energy is the reason. Give people the means and opportunity and they will strive and thrive.
