orange you glad you spent R300 at cape union mart for a waterproof bag
28 dec 09 > so we ventured off for a whopping-23-mate-team-epic-bobb down the orange .. an insane experience that i highly recommend. according to marty, you can never do it enough ! i thought i'd aim for a more cleopatra-kind-of-a-vibe holiday .. rather than exert to much effort. you know, perhaps soak up some rays, paint my nails, while sipping on a mai thai. so i specifically chose 2 x duzi marathan paddler, he-man, master of the wild extraordinaire, jase rattray, as my kayak partner ..
from that moment on ... pear !
our carefully selected yellow submarine was as heavy as freight train - m'yeah, we bailed .. and then some .. !
being t-boned into the rock at shambuck was delightful ... i still have three small calf muscles on my right leg ! but taking the cake for all round sheer delight, was discovering that cape union mart was indeed full of shit and that the water proof bag carrying the "royal heirloom" .. my canon mk 11, was not so waterproof after all. so it's with a heavy sigh, that i present to you a very thin ( half a day of five ) series on the epic orange tour. .. and jase, ... the sweetest guitar tunes down the orange, you can be my wing man anytime !

henri cartier-bresson
my hero, the man who pioneered reportage shooting ...
one of my favourite pics of all time. as he so nicely put it ..
"for me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event."
THE KISS
commissioned by pythagorus-TV for their valentine issue, i was inspired by famous sculptures and paintings called "the kiss" and how, through photography, i could re-interpret them into contemporary allegorical images of the realities of modern day relationships. in BRANCUSI'S "THE KISS" i tried to portray the boxed in tightness of relationship and paradoxically, feel i managed to capture the beauty in the oneness and closeness two lovers might share.
RODIN'S "THE KISS" captures the similarity of bronze to the splendour of dark skin, and being lost in a moment of love
ROTBERG'S "THE KISS" portrays the union of marriage
CUPID AND PSYCHE gay love and freedom it now has after years of repression
KLIMT'S "THE KISS" the sparkle and gold encrusted bullshit that marriage is made out to be ! be weary of the glitter ... sometimes it can turn out worse than a very cold bath

THE PLACES I HAVE STAYED ...
so for the past four months from june until october, i have lugged about five cameras on and off tubes, planes and trains from the glastonbury music festival to weddings in belgium and amsterdam. .. and photographed some gorgeous countries in between. here are the
PLACES I HAVE STAYED ...
the "day" chateau, south of france
gainsville, twenty min metro from paris .. where the old french men donning gingham scarves and old berets still ride bicycles with baguette filled baskets - its not just in the movies !

i arrived in cape town following an epic four month "world domination" tour around europe to go straight into shooting on stage for "rocking the daisies" as their official photographer. south african blood runs thick and in the words of dorothy : "there's no place like home" .. this is exactly what i needed. nearing the end of month four i had started to really miss south africa, in particular the friends who know me so well, my car, SA sense of humour and the beach. here are a select few pics from my much loved RTD music fest 2009 shoot ( love the rockstars )..
