I See Science


How does a kid take a photograph when he (or she) has never held a camera before and doesn't even know which button to press - or that the buttons are there to be pressed?
And then how do you persuade the youngster to take a photograph of science?
Ask Detlef Basel, the 72-year-old stalwart of the MTN Sciencentre. By Thursday, this avid photographer will have introduced 200 children from Khayelitsha, Langa and Delft to the wonders of digital photography - with a quick sidetrip to Paarl on Wednesday to cause a few chemical reactions with colleague Eloise Nefdt.
