The drive up to Chloorkop was pretty interesting that morning. I consider myself to be a Mamelodi Sundowns fan because I come from PTA and live closer to Mams than I do to PTA. But I'm not a die hard fan of the Brazillians.

Calvin was going to be part of our sport section of the first issue of Pantera Magazine. As the sunrose on that Autumn morning over walked the nonchalant figure of Calvin. This guy was so chilled and we chatted about various apsects of the PSL and his role in Bafana Bafana. There is so much abouth SA Football that we don't know...

I went to school with the guy in the green jumper's (TB) bro. TB was a few years youger than me but we study together now at Wits. Yeah I'm old and half way through my studies. These two cats produce deep house beats and its so strange because TB's bro plays tunes with another good friend of mine. Strange how the world is so small and connected.

John Barker just spoke so much about his love for the city and the mix of cultures that lead him to direct Bunny Chow. He went on about his love for Woodey Allen black and white films. Bunny Chow was all about the mix of cultures that we experience in Jozi on a daily basis. John swore that I'd have to put this into a full page of Pantera Magazine. The image proved a good choice so the editor pushed it for a full page.

Tash Corlett House

Tash is quite athletic and it showed in this shot. It was the make up that inspired this angle. Tash held the pose for a couple of seconds and then I managed to get a good angle. I think it worked out pretty well. Thanks Tash!

This was upstairs at Corlett House. The Warehouse has so many interesting locations in it. I was working on a puppet like pose for the girls. They just took the idea and we got this shot off. The star on Nats face makes me smile!

Another Nats vs. Tash styled shot.

Girl power! Another shot taken at Corlett House. We were working on a supergirl theme for this setting. Nats vs Tash. These girls worked with Rozanne Whyte and I all day long to shoot one of the best scenes I've ever done. Spy vs Spy styley!

If anybody has seen these guys around Rosebank or Wits then you'll know they're slightly mad! Parkour has taken off in our country and Jax and his crew run regular jams on weekends. Parkour is about moving through an urban environment using your body as a flexible tool. These guys go over walls, dustbins and across balconies. Think of spider man meets crazy monkey.

The old Jozi CBD is being renovated. A friend of mine works for a company called Earthworx. They're working on alot of the renovations that are underway in the old CBD area. This is Corlett House, the old mayor of JHB, Dan Corlett owned a panelbeating business way back in the 40's. I got to shoot some stuff for them just as they had started the renovations. Justin works for Earthworx and he's this really eccentric guy. He just gets so many ideas when he's in front of the camera! just before this shot he had squeezed himself into the old safe while I shot a few frames. This is inside the bigger walk in safe that they were renovating at the time. Funny how back then most of the old buildings had walk in safes.

At the front of the stage I stood while Waddy jumped into the crowd, i still have no idea how I took this shot. I pushed the shutter release and it just popped up onto the LCD screen. Its really weird cause its like a mirror image of Waddy on top of the crowd. Their is his real form then the mirror arm and legs but the movement and vibe are all captured in the shot. This was awhile ago. I had just started out shooting live music. I was this naive flashy stage photog. I hadn't learnt that the stage is for the performance and not for the photog to grab the show.

Henry Madini in meditation before his Muay Thai class.

Newtown and the bridge from the top of the point place building. I've just remembered I owe a nice lady a box of chocolates!

Jazz legend

If your down and out in Jozi then Kippies is the place to find your soul. When you have a maestro like Sipho Mabuse running a jazz joint it's no wonder that the soul of the jazz scene will be alive for some time to come. When I walked through the doors of the old venue I got this feeling that I was experiencing a touch of the magic that made Newtown what it is today. Kippies might have moved but the soul of Jazz will hopefully swing with it to the new venue. Sipho Mabuse in his element!
