Back To Business

Hello world, and welcome to 2011. I heard a friend call it 20heaven the other day but I think 2011 is just fine. I went to the Drakensberg this Dec/Jan with some friends and my girlfriend and had such an awesome holiday. 12 days of good people, fly fishing, travelling, beers and rain. Here's a quick run down:

1. Stayed in the Underberg

2. Moved on to Kamberg

3. Stopped off at Verkykerskop on the way home

Here are images from the trip, in no particular order because to do that in Blogger is like pulling teeth.

P.S. Working on a little book for my still life project, hopefully it will be printed by February. It will be limited to 100 copies and each will be signed. So far the title is 'unRemembered'

So here are my first three posts of the year 2010. And fittingly, one of them has to do with soccer. The other one is a fashion editorial I did for Sandton Magazine and this one is stuff I shot while I was with my family over Christmas. It was meant to be a project called '7 Days', one photograph for every day my girlfriend, Leksa, was away . It never really worked and it just became, I guess, ramblings of a photographer shooting his family in his home town of Vereeniging. And I was a little trigger happy this holiday season as my present to myself was the new 5D Mark 2.

New Year by the way.

The Details

The ol' blog hasn't seen much action of late. I've been shooting a lot for myself lately, shot some more 4/5 portraits and loads of stuff with friends. Commercially I've done an FNB ad, some portraits in Durban for 'The National' in Dubai and some other random stuff in between. You can see some of this work in the posts below. I also had an joint exhibiton with my brother, Andrew, at the Vaal University. We were asked to show our work in their gallery as we both studied there. I was also asked to give a guest lecture to the students at the university which was pretty cool. Some talented photographers coming out of the Vaal.
On a more family based note, my brother got engaged on the weekend to his girlfriend Marija. I'm really happy for him, Marija is a lucky lady. This is a portrait I shot of Andrew while I was still studying, I think he was 17 then.
