Its not something that I put on my CV, but I’m very good at getting lost. Not always, in fact hardly ever, but when I get lost, I get so lost that garage attendents look at me like I just stepped out of my spaceship when I ask for directions.

It was that kind of friday night. Just finished photographing a wedding, lost in what I can only describe as the industrial section of somewhere, I’d been following Ursula but lost her at a red light. I was now following a truck, hoping to hit a main road, or actually any road that had a visible street sign. The batteries on my cellphone were dead (mental note to self to get a car charger) and the orange empty fueltank sign had been flashing for the last ten minutes. I also had some killer bee images on a flash card in the big black camera. All was ok.

A couple of hours earlier, at the wedding, well Charine and Jannie – if you’re reading this, too much fun was being had by everyone. Genuine fun, genuine laughs, genuine people. I love how tense grooms (in general, not just you Jannie) are when they are being photographed, by the end of the session they’ve always had so much fun that they tend to forget that they are being ‘photographed’ and must ‘pose’ and we end up with some killer images. I’m pretty sure you guys are enjoying Mauritius.

The next post will be from Cape Town – looking forward to meeting everyone who signed up for the workshop, and pretty excited about the live photoshop session on images I haven’t seen before.

I was assisted on this one by the uber talented Ursula Tocik who is witty and charming and highly recommended.
