African You Tube Videos

I watched some Africa-related videos last night on You Tube. I enjoyed some of the short clips from Out of Africa, especially the “Flight Over Africa.” My favorite music clips were by Johnny Clegg’s “Dela,” Wes’s “Awa Awa,” and Lucky Dube’s “Remember Me.” I also watched a few lion kills, which always receive a great deal of hits. The hot air balloon over the Serengeti brought back a lot of good memories of my own voyage ten years ago. That one-hour flight was the best $371 I ever spent. To view some of my favorites, you can visit my web site: http://www.africansafarilady.com/New_Folder/youtubevideos.htm.

Peter Beard Documentary

I just finished watching the documentary Peter Beard Scrapbooks: Africa and Beyond. I have been a fan of Peter's artwork for quite a while now and was excited to find this 1998 fifty-four minute film on Netflix. In addition to interviews, there is also footage of him taking photographs in his studio and in Kenya. To learn more about Peter's work, you can visit his web site: http://www.peterbeard.com/. Information about his exhibitions can be found at http://www.michaelhoppengallery.com/exhibition,past,2,0,0,0,11,0,0,0,peter_beard_peter_beard_time_s_up.html.
