I don't often publish things here that aren't my own, but I can't resist
linking to this fantastic piece of stop-motion video, showing my old home
Cotonou, Benin over the course of a day.
Cotonou in Motion (Benin, Africa) from Mayeul Akpovi on Vimeo.
A gorgeous bit of work by Mayeul Akpovi, whose last name shows he is probably
Beninese himself. Awesome to see Africans taking pride in their home! And
damned if it doesn't fill me with a strong nostalgia for the place I called
home from 20062010. Who'd have thought?
