Face off

Cass and Kirstyn in a restaurant in Observatory last week.

Another self-portrait, messing around etc

Dan the man

This is one of my little cousins when he was on holiday in Kalk Bay.

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!"

A little bit of 60's

This self-portrait was inspired by Valley of the Dolls, an awesome film made in 1967.

Seeing the light?

Random self-portrait I took while experimenting with light settings

One sweet ride

Spotted this beauty at Mouille Point (Cape Town)

Step into the sun

Some of the beautiful nature that lives in the Western Cape

Play that funky music

My uncle's cool-kid band: the Rock'it Ships

District Mail Photos: Part 1

One of the photos I took during my internship at District Mail (more to come)

Laughter is contagious

Kirstyn in a fit of hysteria

Summer means sand, sun and ice-creams

Some beach shots to welcome in the summer...

A taste of honey...

This took about three hours...
but it was worth it?

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.

Waxing lyrical

The prayer candles at a church in Cape Town, something about them holds such hope.

Country Kitten

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

Red red wine...

Wine-tasting with my delightful father at Lourensford Wine Estate

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.

And we were walking through the city, like we're drunk, but not...

The rest of the Cape Town photos, starring the lovely Kirstyn.

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)
