I haven’t attended a Moonlightmass in a while and decided to brave the cold and see how the event has evolved.
It all started because a friend of mine recently built and customised a single speed mountainbike and wanted to see what all the fuss is about, at the same time taking his new iron horse for a spin. Read More
Earlier this year I had the privilege of filming with director Eldon van Aswegen and a very talented crew covering a live performance of Trenton and the Free Radical’s – Mr Mandela.
The beauty of this performance is that they were performing with the Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and SA Youth Choir in an empty Cape Town City Hall. Read More

While passing some time the other day I went on a little photo walk in Hout Bay harbor shooting things completely different to what I normally do, it was quite refreshing and a nice way to look at a place I’ve seen many times before with fresh eyes. I’d recommend all photographers remove themselves once in a while and shoot something different or even very simple and see what you can find in your images. I experimented with a few grades on these, some with a bit of pop, some quite flat with a film like tone and a couple B&W ones for good measure. The Panaroma was comprised of 3 images stitched together. enjoy ; } Read More
