V and I just got back from Lynette and Glen’s cool wedding at Morrells … a quick sneak peek before we head to bed and Lynette and Glen (who are probably still at Morrells) head out to their honeymoon.
It didn’t rain, but it looked close a couple of times

Miriam Makeba died this weekend after a performance in Italy. I remember the last time I saw her was at the original Klein Karoo Kunstefees, I was working for the Mail & Guardian, and she was being pelted with beer cans. I got into a spot of trouble after writing a scathing article about the festival – craftily titled “Beer Cans and Boer Wars” by my editor – repeatedly shortening the name of the festival to KKK and accusing them of racism. They later renamed it to the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees.
V calls it my Angry Young Man period, I wasn’t welcomed back the following year. I remember Ms. Makeba being pretty amazing and calm on the stage, and very gracious in accepting the festival organizers’ apologies in a press conference the next day. This is the last photo I took of her that evening at the festival.

See the entry about the Smythe family lifestyle shoot for more on this story. I was having an Anton Corbijn moment and they just looked like a rock band.

I love this photo of Theo Crous, the man is a monster of rock. He should have been playing to stadiums of adoring fans.

I was happy to see DORP on the bill at Ampli5. I remembered them as being energetic, off the wall and just slightly loopy to watch live.

I often wonder what Paul Riekert must have been thinking when I dragged him to the National Art Gallery to photograph him inside a sculpture/art piece. I think it was called Meine Huis or Meine Tuis.

I still waste a lot of film with my Holga. I was obsessed with it for a while in the 90′s, before I discovered antique cameras.
