V and I shot Tim and Helen’s wedding at the Country Club of Johannesburg this weekend. Whimsical, slightly off center and blessed with sunshine – think balloons, a dress that incorporated bells and feathers and a choir from Meadowlands. The ‘videography’ was captured on a 16mm bolex, that sound of the film being exposed resulting in flashbacks to my childhood and my father running around filming every family event on 8mm. No pics this week, as they asked that we don’t post anything on the blog.

On another front, I’ve been asked where I get my handmade large format pinhole cameras that I use for landscape work. They’re designed by a Hong Kong based designer called Zernike Au, for Zero Image. Gorgeous high-quality teak wood, hand-turned solid brass mechanism, serious attention to detail. I’m a huge fan.
