Colour + Bling

I loved the colour and bling of this wedding and Rana and Ken were a great couple to photograph. I really enjoyed my day with them. Full of fun, warm and friendly. Wishing them both the very best in their life together.

Haga Haga

So I finally got to my photos of my trip to South Africa. These are a few taken in a small seaside village called Haga Haga on the east coast of South Africa. Much of my childhood was spent here with family and friends picking up shells, fishing, and enjoying the sea and nature. The memories of my time here as a child have been the most influential part of my creative work... and my life really. I was truly blessed to have experienced what I did.

Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

This piece is really interesting and entertaining as well. It gave me something to think about. It obviously relates to what I do for a living but also how I relate to children and their creativity. Increasingly I am aware of how valuable it is to be able to be in touch with that wonder and curiosity that we had as children. Also that willingness to take risks and allow ourselves to be vulnerable in speaking our truth and being who we are. Take a look. Click title.

Back from South Africa!

Just a quick post to reconnect and let everyone know that I'm back from my two month trip to South Africa. Still trying to adjust to the new time zone and the weather for that matter. I see some spring bulbs coming up. That's something to look forward to.
Have many photos and memories to sort through over the next few months. I will be posting them from time to time. I miss being in South Africa and look forward to reliving my trip through my photos. I took alot of photos of the ocean. Alot! Not sure what that was about but I sure enjoyed my swims, picking up shells, watching dolphins in the waves or just simply watching the waves.
It was wonderful to see my family again. Each time I go back the experience is richer. Special love to my family who may be reading this.
Till next time.
