I am an African


Its been too long since I got back from the UK for me to go again. When I was over there it seemed the right thing to do, come back that is... It's not like I've lost faith but there is so much i want to find out about Mzansi and it feels like I'm running out of time on a daily basis. I am an African, it will always be home and the people will always interest me.

I wondered into Orlando East two weekends ago with Louise De Bruin to shoot a story about Traditional Healers. The story went well, but what the hell took the two of us so long to venture into Soweto. I have seen a few new buildings, met so many new faces but never travelled down the M1 South into Soweto. It won't be our last...

Its time I went into our country and found the life that breaths everyday. I wanna find the people in every walk of life and from every culture of our country!

I shot this at the lofts just behind AFDA. A friend works for Earthworx and they've been very supportive with everything I've done. Catch a glimpse of the beauty of Nathalie as she lures us in.

I caught shawn in melville just before we were going out to say farewell to an old friend. I hadn't been out in ages and that night I met a guy who has hooked me up with some cool corporate work. Interesting how it all works!




This one also comes from Woodstock 8.These guys really rock so go check out Epicure.




I study with these girls and they play in a cool band called Japan and I. So just before Woodstock 8 I agreed to shoot these pics for their press pack. We went to a park near the Dome in Northgate and it was after some messing around that we got this shot.It worked out pretty well in the end.

It was by pure chance that I heard about this gig. I saw Tamith at Capp's and she gave me the details about the gig. Jax, Desmond and the Tutus and a few others collaborated in a completely unplugged evening at the intimate theatre in PTA. The venue was cozy and it was jam packed. The energy created by the close proximity of the acts and all in the crowd can be seen in this image. Thanks to all the acts, check out for the pics in the SL soon.
