We are taking a small break from the normal and will be back with new ideas and loads of inspiration. Life is good!
Monthly Archives: August 2009 Groenrivier, Riebeeck-Wes | 30 August 2009 Jannie is a farmer who has lived in the Riebeeck-Wes area all his life. He loves the farm and has a special place in his heart for his merino sheep. One day he hurt himself and got referred to the local physiotherapist by his son. He met Debbie at…  I’ve had so much positive feedback from this wedding, that I decided to post more of Stef & Yolandi‘s wedding pictures just for fun. Here are some Monochrome shots from this special day in the Grabouw mountains. Most of the shoot was done in the pouring rain, that made for a lot of fun and…  Sometimes it is good to look back, to take stock where you came from and to determine where you are heading to. The exhibition was 5 years ago. The first wedding I’ve done was actually a year before all this in Glasgow, Scotland back in 2003. Since then, Peartree Photography came about and has handled…  We sat in the Cape Town gardens with the closed envelopes. I got the films developed at Orms and this was the moment when I would first see the product – 5 days before my flight to the exhibition in Esbjerk, Denmark. I said to Adri that if it didn’t look good, I wouldn’t be…  Zanzibar is a tourist and photographer’s heaven! Stone Town surprised us around every corner and I must admit, the beaches made me lazy to strategize and plan shoots. But somehow the shots just came to us. I think the photos speak for themselves (even the ones of Adri – she’s a child of Africa too!)….  I would always go for a walk late in the afternoon. And the picture one find always stayed the same. Everywhere people were playing football! And even if there was no ball, plastic bags would be tied together to form an oddly shaped item that couldn’t puncture or hurt the bare feet eagerly kicking it!…  In the middle of the night a storm came up that kept me well awake for the rest of it. Luckily no unwanted visitors made their appearance! A guy from another Dutch Overland group that camped about 500m away, wasn’t that lucky. He went to bed with a scorpion and woke up with a headache…  From Nairobi, I immediately made my way to Nakuru. The plan was to catch a matatu (local overcrowded bus) up North early the next morning. To my surprise, I came across the most surreal combination of landscapes and people that was exactly what I was looking for. A great start to my trip I thought!…  It has been quiet on the wedding front over the weekend – it felt like a holiday! I managed to spend time with friends, my family and lots of time in the mountains. This is where the idea struck – to share and celebrate a photographic venture of 5 years ago. I hope you will… |
