Lemon style

Lemon style

I’m busy editing the session I did with Tanya and her girls, and just had to post this one too.  I love Lemon’s attitude in this shot, and the colouring of her dress just lends itself to a seventies colour treatment on the photo.

In the wars

Eye sore

The school phoned me today and left a message on my phone (I was in a meeting) saying that Bradley had fallen on the playground, but I wasn’t to worry, it wasn’t bad and Bradley wanted to stay at school.
After I listened to that message, I listened to 2 messages from Lance saying that he’d...

Oh, Man! Poor kid! But he’s GORGEOUS, so at least he’s got that going for him. Such beautiful eyes. Is this what a macro lens can do? (just curious-I’m thinking of getting one.)

Aaaah! Poor injured soldier! Hope he doesn’t get a black eye on top of that!

Firefly (250 comments.) - July 31, 2009 - 8:20 am

Shoe lace or another kid pushing him. Sorry, devil’s advocate. Mine is the same. And believe me, unless they lay there dieing, they won’t want to come home.

Good heavens I would hardly say it isn’t so bad. How can any teacher say that is fine, it looks terrible. Poor boy. I’m sure he needs lots of cuddles.

[...] joys of having boys… a few weeks ago I posted about Bradley getting hurt at school, and this time it’s Connor’s turn.  This actually happened on Saturday but I [...]

Bradley’s karate lesson

Warm up exercise

At the end of every term, the karate dojo has an open day where the parents are invited to watch the class.  I’d booked it in my diary when we first got confirmation of the date, at the beginning of the term, just in case I forgot about it.  I was so glad I was...

Cape Town and it’s salmon skies

Robben Island from Signal Hill

I’ve been in Cape Town over the last 2 days doing presentations and a portrait shoot. Yesterday evening, I just made it up Signal Hill and to Kloof Rd before the sun set and managed to get a few shots of this beautiful city.  Even though I’ve very glad to be home; I wish I’d...

Beautiful! I particularly like the sunset from Kloof Road.

A.M. (2 comments.) - July 29, 2009 - 10:43 am

I like the first picture, the scene is just magnificent. I usually go to the sea side at dusk and just sit there and watch… or if I had time I would go to the mountains and watch it from there… Nice photos, really like them.

Sunset and sunrise at Kloofzicht

Dam reflection

I’ve just come home from a strategy weekend at Kloofzicht Hotel, in Muldersdrift; and although I didn’t have very much time to myself, I managed to catch the sunset last night, and then I woke up early (which was a huge feat considering the time I got to sleep) to get photos of the sun...
