Cousins

I loved talking to you on Saturday. I'm just refinding myself in post SFC exam limbo - please let me pass that and not have to revisit it (he says hopefully, wanting that rush of joy, fearing the crushing frustration and disappointment). I suspect you are somewhat more adept. Thought I'd post this - got the kit out - black backdrop - took some pics of your boeties and their cousins, and pasted it together in a collage. When the lights go up, they don't mind a bit of posing - for now, for ever? Also did a family port for my mate Jacques on Saturday for their adoption agency interview/application. Made a groovy pop art thing out of it too, like this.

Fabulous SA

I loved coming to SA for a number of reasons - you being a huge one - and the staggering beauty of the place. There are things I don't like too - not sure if this is me changing because I've been away for what suddenly feels like quite a while - or because I've become more set in my ways and am more judgemental than Iused to be. Being judgemental is not something that I've thought a good thing, but sometimes it's helpful and even necessary I suppose. The photos that I put into this slide show are either airbrush type portraits - a look that is achieved with post-processing in RAW before outputting the file - or daylight flash photos taken in the evening so as to leave some colour in the sky. Hope you like them. It was such a positive, lovely surprise to see you.
