Back from Cape Town
Back from Cape Town – thanks to everyone who sent through birthday wishes, good luck for exams wishes and just a hey howyoudoin? we were inundated with SMS’s, facebook messages, skype messages, emails and phone calls from ex-clients now friends, facebook friends, people we’ve only ever exchanged emails with. It’s a good thing I didn’t have internet access. Special thanks to Sjaan and Dylsky for putting me up.
Lets see; Cape Town was cold, rainy and gray as expected. I had a brush with crime, luckily it was only a rental car, however I’m still waiting to see how much the rental agency is going to nail me for. Luckily I did pick the insurance option. Exams went ok, time will tell. The flight was a blur of too little sleep, but I’m back in Joburg and ready to work my way through the emails and change requests. Although I am thinking it may be time to get an admin person to help.
On the studio side, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine has chosen two images of ours to appear in their new book. Now I know I’ve said my piece about having our pics appear in wedding mags and I haven’t changed my mind. I do however really like their books. Anyway, congrats to our two couples – I’ll show you guys the pics as soon as I’ve let the couples know, but these are two very edgy photojourn images that I have had a lot of feedback on and I was quite surprised that they were picked.
In between all of the heavy … cough cough … studying, I also managed to watch two flicks. Sweeny Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, brilliantly dark, super gory, so gothic and Tim Burtonesque that it hurt. Stuart Fyvie was the colorist – and he is just incredible, I love his work. The movie itself was beautiful, just be warned that it is a musical and hence there is a lot of singing. I also watched Room 1408 which was ok. Very good compositions throughout the film, and the use of colors was pretty subtle as well.
