For Q, on your journey

In Memorian

"Thank you for the love, the laughs, the awkward moments, for being fluent in idiot and sarcasm, for the days when the previous night's heaven became that morning's hell, the impossible debates, the quirky dress and unforgettable personalities that coloured our ninja mares (especially during exams), the times we balled on a budget, purposefully procrastinated until we ended up pulling horrid all-nighters. You cleaned up my messes, guided me down the right path and left indellible impressions upon me. Wherever I am, I am surrounded by family. The next year of madness and glory awaits us, but for now, a journey of my own beckons. 'til we meet again, forever begins... NOW!"

The Cindy Sherman Project: Part 1



This post (and hopefully more to follow) is inspired by one of my heroes, Cindy Sherman in her Untitled Film Stills.
Of course, this makes it a self portrait.

Country Kitten


My family cat (with who I have rather a love-hate relationship). She's  not really a fan of posing for pictures.

Bird in Flight


aka "birds can fly so high and they can shit on your head..."

This is shot I snapped of the birds that live outside my res room: they've kept me company all year.

Train-spotting








Kirstyn and I hopped on the Metrorail to Cape Town...

Because this album had rather a lot of photos, I broke it into two parts.
I'll put the other part up tomorrow!

Occupy Grahamstown




Some photos I took at the Occupy Grahamstown protest a couple of weeks ago. My somewhat misguided attempt at evocative, relevant photojournalism. Oh well...

There's something mournful about windmills...




Some rural landscape shots from one of the many long roadtrips I've taken this year (you can actually see my reflection in the first one)
