So Friday we were at Thaba Ya Batswana, out towards the south end of Joburg. Serious lightning, rain, one of those highveld thunderstorms that turn the world dark. I wasn’t worried, we were with Rob from DVI, he’s a tall guy and carries a steel tripod. I figured I’d take my chances with the lightning. Nicole and Donavan didn’t seem too stressed about the rain either, and brought the rock star swagger to our big veld/dark skies shoot. Add in some super cool family members, people I recognized from our recent Toadbury Hall wedding , and it turned into a pretty relaxed afternoon.

Hours later, leaving Thaba, the police were stopping people just outside the gates. Lights flashing in the dark, mixing in with flashes of lightning. I wasn’t worried, I’d been good, and I was in double-o super sexy.
