just backing up the images … a full set a bit later – I’ve put up a selection on our facebook page.

Its been one of those bleached out Sundays. Waking up still needing a couple of hours of sleep or a massive caffeine infusion, two slices of pizza for breakfast, super dark sunglasses on and a slow drive into the country for a rare (and very meditative) walk around Nirox, brain slowly struggling to wake up, taking in the enormous amount of green vegetation.

I’m still backing up Roger and Greg’s Westcliff wedding, give me a day or two to sift through the hundreds of images and I’ll put up a post.

we’re swamped at the moment, I’m busy editing this killer bee shoot, more soon.

You either get Joburg or you don’t. Even if you do, you sometimes have to get away for a bit. Breath in some desert air.

Trip update: Tonight we’re at the Desert Horse Inn, 3 km west of Aus. Tomorrow we’ll start the 2000km journey back to Joburg.

Black and white pics have always seemed so silent to me. Stills from a half remembered late night film.

Trip update: We’re staying at the Alternative Space today, an art gallery on the fringe of the desert just outside Swakopmund.

Alternative Space Swakopmund, 

It’s been a long couple of weeks, I’ve been (figuratively) chained to the desk in the basement working on albums and doing the post on what seems like millions of photos. Two of my cameras broke while shooting a wedding – the two batteries on the big black camera’s battery grip literally shot out, snapping the hooks and the housing – fortunately I had backup cameras, but that would account for my dry wit at Avianto. After many phone call and trips to Kayalami, the local Nikon repair center and I are finally seeing eye to eye as to who should be paying for the repairs. Anyway, it’s been a while so I figured a bit of an update on what is going on in the studio is in order.

Nicola and John’s album, they’re the baobab guys, was nominated for an album award. After speaking to Nicola we decided not to submit it, I’m not really big on photography competitions, but it was nice to get recognition for a really cool album. I don’t think I posted anything from that album so a quick couple.

I also finished Swathi and Andrei’s killer bee album from their Indian wedding in Mauritius.

I even finished Shelley and Marc’s Shepstone Gardens album (some from that one later this week, after they get a chance to see it). I did find this cool birdcage pic amongst the images – I’ve been having a Eugenio Recuenco week, so it may just be me that loves this pic.

We also opened a couple of dates in Jan, March and May due to cancellations for those that are still looking. I did send out mails to everyone who asked to let them know if anything changed. I’m also in the process of investigating switching back to the traditional albums from the storybook, coffee table books, and am in talks with a local bookbinder to make me a custom sample album.

Also really getting into Hendrik Kerstens’ portraits.

It was incredible. Stay tuned for some amazing images. I just need to wrap up some album changes, drop off a couple of packages and answer a lot of emails.
