Rocks and Reflections

The south coast has always held a special place in my life. My grandparents had the coolest beach house where we spent many amazing holidays. I caught my first salt water fish, we snorkeled and we hit the waves on our body boards.

This is a bit further down the road in Port Edward, and I sense a new love affair with this part of the coast coming.

Sunset Football

I nearly missed the light, glad I didn't.

The Boys and Their Dogs

Somewhere in the depths of the Wild Coast on assignment for the Mail and Guardian we met with the largest extended family I know of. A beautiful bunch on the most amazing of settings. Looking at the mud huts and chicks and cows I am seriously considering trading in all my gadgets for a simpler life.

Strike Season

Strike season again. This was the first walk into town of the year, I wonder how many more of these we will do? I must say that although the march to the steps of the Durban city hall was a slow one, the striking workers were very disciplined.

Afro Mex Fashion

As a photographer not to be named said to me on the Saturday of the Durban July horse races, 'This is the worst day of my year!' I think he said the same to me last year. And I agreed with him.

A strange thing happened next. I started to watch the people. Some wore ridiculous outfits, most desperate to be noticed. But this guy made me smile!

The Sardines Are Back

The sardines are back! I love this time of the year. It is not too hot, the light is great and it is school holidays. I need to figure out a way to get in some fishing and work, but cameras and salt water are a bad idea. I think I will have to take a day off and just concentrate on fishing!
