"..Nesta conformidade, 48 anos depois, o MPLA continua determinado em fazer feliz o Povo angolano, jamais abdicando dos ideais que nortearam a sua fundação e tendo sempre presente o legado do Guia Imortal e Fundador da Nação, Camarada Dr. António Agostinho Neto, de que: “O mais importante é resolver os problemas do Povo”. (Directiva para as comemorações do 48º aniversário da fundação do MPLA).

Used car stand on the Ilha do Cabo in Luanda, aiming to satisfy Luanda's new found taste for large SUV's and 4x4's. All a matter of priorities.

Another two bite the dust in Luanda's infernal traffic.

Just a pity it isn't diamond studded...

I met these fellas at one of the rodeo weekends at Angola Prison in Saint Francisville, Louisiana. In addition to the rodeo, the prisoners are able to sell the stuff they make throughout the year. It's kind of like a big macho craft fair.

There's a trust system in place. The most trusted inmates can interact and mingle with the visitors. The next level down can interact, but must do so through these fences. Most prisoners don't get to attend at all.

Cameras were not allowed at the event, but cell phones were, so I took the best sly photos I could.

Here's what I know about them:

- Co (on the right) makes jewerly from thin steel. Most of it features cartoon characters.

- He's convicted of armed robbery and is in Angola for 10 years.

- Derek is almost 40 years old and looks no more than 30. I wouldn't expect prison to have an anti-aging effect...

- He has been at Angola for 20 years, since he was 18.

- He was convicted of murder and is serving a life term.

- He used to live in Paducah, Kentucky.

That's it.
