    After an hour of four wheel driving, me and 3 of my friends finally arrived at our spot around 2pm. As soon as we saw the first set come in we all scurried into our wetsuits and surfed blissful waves to ourselves for the next 3 hours. When we got back to the cars and got changed, we all sat and admired the glamorous show that mother nature was putting on for us. After cherishing the moment with a couple snags, a few bush chooks and plenty of laughter, i decided it was too good of a moment to not

    I went to Benin in January mainly to experience some voodoo festivals and ceremonies. This was my 3rd visit to Benin. The day before the main Festival we found some voodoo followers in the street and stopped to take some photos. This guy was running around covered in palm oil and white powder. The burning twigs are meant to scare away evil spirits. I photographed him as he stopped outside a dark doorway for a second.
