Maputo Trip: Sep 2012


Did I ever tell you about our trip to Mozambique? I'm such a bad friend but i think I will be forgiven as i have remembered by myseolf without anyone having to slap me in the head, anyways here how it all went down, sometime last year I decided to, after so many postponement by my friends that we were suppose to do this with, take sometime out and go somewhere I've never been into. so the destiny was decided and Maputo was agreed upon and well... the rest is history.

Friday, 14 September 2012, Mbali, Gugu, Tinkie and took off to Maputo, and to make it even more adventurously fun, we used public transport. so Greyhound was the transport of choice and had quiet a number of ferries from the city (Maputo) to the hotel (Catembe) which is on the other side of the sea.

Click below to see the pictures....


Saturday Morning in the ferry Maputo to Catembe in the rain... oh it was just fun how people got to drive to the shore only to get to the ferry with their cars only to get off on the side of the sea and drives away. Some don't even get out of the cars while on the ferry.

White Sheeted Thando

I can have a shoot with Thando everyday for a year, but her energy drains me dry, This is my 1st Boudoir shoot, that's if it even qualifies as boudoir but it doesn't matter much to me though, I mean whatever one calls the photographs, for me the beauty of the photographs is what talks thousand words worth listening.

Lately I have good friends dropping by in the office "just to say hi", yesterday was my journo friend Ms Thandeka Shiba. oh ya we have loads of fun with this young diva, I almost mentioned that she was the main lady behind the Brown Street shutdown on the 1st of December 2012, but then i remembered I never told you about how much fun we had reciting poetry in the candle light, so I'm gonna stop before I get carried away by the street shutdown memories...

I have always admired the power of the colour green, here with the persona of the classic black with its modest and arrogant character that's lazy, easy and mysterious at the same time... So to make it even more prominent Gold here and there to calm this "don't bother me, I won't bother you" attitude.

Soap Bubbles...

 Monday, 07 January 2013, Urban Cove, Nelspruit

Today I decided to try something that I have been willing to try and somehow never did, I think I have always been scared to get out of my comfort zone, however I have finally went and did few shots of the soap bubbles and, even though I'm not over the moon about them, I'm happy about the outcome, especially because it was my first attempt. So I promise the next time I do this, the results will be way better than the images below.
