Jay and Jan Roode: Africa as Abstract Art (1)


Lone Fisherman, by Jay and Jan Roode
South African couple Jay and Jan Roode share a unique view of the African continent; it's a view from above. The husband-and-wife team operate Skyhawk Photography, and have flown to over 65 countries, sometimes risking their lives for the perfect shot from the air.

"There's no way to fly, especially over wilderness, and not be philosophical," says Jay, who takes the pictures while her husband, Jan, flies the plane.

"When you're up there, you step out of your everyday life, and you reevaluate everything that is important to you as a human being," she adds.
The Roode couple show the earth below them in its stunning light, color and form.  It shows life as part of an abstract art, it seems.
