Nibs van der Spuy

I love music. I play a little and listen a lot. I love experiencing the process of making an album so I was buzzing when my good friend Nibs van der Spuy asked me to listen to the makings of what is now the album 'House Across the River'.

Nibs lives in a beautiful old home, the kind that kids (big ones like me too) love! It has swords and armour and paintings. It has an old world feel which I love.

We tried various locations in the house, using all manner of lights and tricks, but when we happened upon the main bedrooms window we hatched a plan. No extra lights just good old fashioned available light. The picture looked and felt so right when I made it.

The album has been playing constantly in my car for the past week, absolutely loving it! For more about Nibs please check out http://www.myspace.com/nibs.

Roly Struckmeyer

Roly Struckmeyer is a singer/songwriter who I have known for some time. As a student he was my boss at the Buzz Bar when I worked behind the bar. We shared a house for some time too and I have many memories (but not enough photographs) from this time. I even played in his band when the bass player was double booked! So we have some history which made it quite strange photographing him.

If you have not heard Roly before get hold of his current album About Time. If you cannot find one drop me a line.
