There have been a few of these signs floating around Johannesburg lately, and they’re now causing people to talk!
I got an email from the organisers of the campaign a few days ago explaining all about the campaign and asking if I wanted to get involved, because they’d noticed the photos of Joburgers on my site. ...
Jeanette these photo’s are fabulous!! I remember seeing you drive past and take the photo…and what a brilliant photo it was! You’re pictures really catch us all in the moment and making Joburg Great! you ROCK!! 
Fantastic concept
Love it!!! All young people too .. love it!!
ooh! love that last one! looks like fun
I guys. Contact me on Facebook (Dean Oelschig) or Twitter @deanoelsh if you want signs. Otherwise, the logo you can get from http://www.penquin.co.za/downloads/ymjg1.jpg if you want to make your own. Peace.
What a great idea! These are wonderful photos too by the way! :0)

I was honoured to be asked by the family of one of the 6 girls who had their Bat Mitzvah yesterday at the Pine Street Shul to be the official photographer for the event. I have linked to an article about the ceremony above, but basically it’s a celebration of a girl’s “coming of age”. I thoroughly enjoyed the morning...

the girls look lovely, I am sure they will be delighted with these to help them remember their special day
i love these jeanette! what a marvelous experience for you – getting a glimpse into another culture.
well shot
What a wonderful event! It looks like the girls enjoyed their special day.
Wonderful photos! How interesting the whole day must have been for you! I also wondered about the colour of the dresses. Love the one with Mum and daughter … very very special! Well done my girl, you did a great job!
What beautiful pictures. As always you did a did a great job.
Cheryl – no significance in the colour purple. The girls I had my batmitzvah with wore white and peach (back in the early 90’s 
)
These are stunning!!
Is there any religious significance in the girls all wearing the same colour of purple? Lovely photo’s.
These came out beautifully!
Wow, these are amazing shots. You have a gift for capturing special moments. I am sure these girls are going to treasure these.
What a special occasion! Lovely photographs J – perfect memories for the girls and their parents. Looking forward to seeing the lunch ones tomorrow!
So so beautiful. Love the one of Lori being blessed by her mom.
Angel – A bar mitzva is slightly different, The shul part is held on a Saturday morning which is the sabbath and therefor you cannot do any ‘work’ such as taking photographs etc… very religious people wont even drive. The day is meant to be spent in prayer and relaxation from the bible “and on the 7th day he rested”…
Shoowee, it seems every shul is different…
My friend’s son’s bar mitzvah is this December, but they’re doing all their photos the Thursday before the actual ceremony because they’re not supposed to take photos during.
Great shots Jenty!
Jeanette these photos are fantastic!!! It must have been such a moving ceremony, I could almost feel it. Well done!!!!!

It was actually great having two people for our Newtown Trash the Dress photoshoot with 2 very different styles of dresses, as it allowed me to take very different photos in the same setting. Here are my favourite photos of Fiona from the afternoon.
This was the closest that we got to having a “groom”
And that’s...

I”m loving these Jeanette!!! They came out so nicely. I’m sure Fiona is going to be very happy with them too.
Yesterday I posted a few photos of Sue and Fiona, from the Trash the Dress photoshoot we did in Newtown, and now the focus is on Sue alone. Sue was actually supposed to join us on the first TTD session we did a few months ago, but couldn’t make the date in the end, but...

Wow wow wow and wow!!!!
great shots, LOVE the last one!
Hi,
Nice pictures…
Maybe she wants to sell her trashed dress to me.
Please let her know I’m interested..
Wendy
Both sets are stunning. I have never been to Newtown, but it seems like a stunning backdrop for photo sessions with any kind of models. Although I imagine that you will have to go there on a Sunday when there isn’t loads of traffic and people around.
Right! So my goal is to get into my wedding dress by December and do a TTD with you.!!!
What more can I say. You got talent!!! Great great photo’s once again!
What a lot of fun!!
gosh, i’m really loving the blue and red ones! fabulous stuff jen!
i am green with envy that you guys got to do this
Its awesome! I think I could do a Newtown TTD shoot…
Love these – specially the contrasting colours of the blue and red. Last one made be smile .. you can almost hear her laugh! (its an amazing mural!)
I met a whole load of friends in Newtown on Sunday afternoon for a Trash-the-Dress (or Day-After or un-bridal) photo session with 2 fabulous women who got married a few years ago and wanted to wear their dresses again.
It was loads of fun wandering through the streets of Johannesburg with 2 other photographers (who are...
