Today in America, as we open the front door to our families and friends on Thanksgiving, we celebrate those who share our lives with with turkey and football. In the rest of the world, it’s just another Thursday. No matter where you live, we encourage you to look around the room and appreciate those who matter in your lives. And because this about giving Thanks, a big thank you to all of you for sending us your wonderful images and making our community that much richer!

My favorite exhibition of each year is our final one: Your Favorite Photograph (that you took) of 2019. Please submit! Enjoy your turkey today…and each other!

©Yusuf Amod, This photo is taken from my Grandfather’s extensive Archive a project that I am currently trying to get through, which dates back to early 1920’s apartheid era South Africa. My grandfather’s family were one of many families that we’re taken by the British as indentured labourers from India to South Africa.
