We have been hearing for decades that there is a huge wealth gap between people around the world, but probably no one thought that there was such a gap between the richest and the poorest. The more we talk about the inequitable distribution of wealth, the greater the gap between the wealth of the poorest and the richest seems to widen. This is confirmed by a report by Oxfam, which states that the eight richest people in the world have more money than the poorest half of the Earth's population combined. There are 3.6 billion of them! Once you figure out what number it is, you'll be giddy.

With its cosmopolitan nature, it is indeed the most beleaguered tourist location in southern Africa, but despite all the glitz and beauty, we cannot ignore the huge gap that yawns between wealth and poverty. And it is much deeper from the air than from the street. See the incredible "discrepancy that is sometimes hard to see from a human perspective," as the drone photographer of the Unequal Scenes series, South African Johnny Miller, explains.

Gordon Parks is one of the few masters of photography who have gone down in world history in one way or another with his legendary work. He impressed us with a unique set of photographs that he took way back in 1958, inspired by the night happenings in the notorious Latin Quarter nightclub in New York.
