Retro Chair

I photographed a person walking out of a subway in London when a student which started a string of images made with people walking out of them. I still love to make similar (but different) photographs but like to photograph some scenes devoid of people.

I feel a series brewing.

I found the 3 legged chicken!

I visited the Natal Musuem for the first time since I was a child. After 25 years the only vivid memory I had was the 3 legged chicken on display. It took a while but I eventually found the unusual chicken.

We were following the kids and did not have time to photograph much but I feel a series coming on. The museum has not changed much in 25 years. More to follow as I plan on going back this week.

Toilets

Toilets on the side of the road. A common sight although these seem to be defying gravity.

Mannequin holding cell

This scene tweaked my sense of humour. I had to make the picture. I have seen mannequins abused in pictures before, but this was too good an opportunity to pass by.

To be honest I have little to say. I just wanted to post this new photograph.

A New Chapter

This is start of a new chapter. I have finally left my job and have made the move across the country to KwaZulu Natal. The choice was easy to make as this is what I really want to do, but also difficult because I had a good job on the newspaper and we were in a comfort zone.

Moving the furniture and the cats, driving twice to get both cars here and all the other unplanned obstacles and has finally ed. We are living in a small country town between Pietermaritzburg (KZNs capital) and Durban (KZNs biggest city) and I do not miss the traffic, shopping centres or the wind.

So what is it I am going to be doing? I am going to be doing more social documentary work wich is the reason I started photographing in the first instant. I feel that I am ready for the next challenge and that is to make my dream job my real work. I will also be freelancing, hoping to do more editorial work and less corporate work.

Although I am taking a break I have been doing a little work on the annual Shembe pilgrimage. Tens of thousands of pilgrims dressed in white walk for three days to a holy mountain where they spend nearly two weeks praying and dancing. It is fascinating to witness and will make for great AV shows when I get the gear.
