Album cover

Annemieke and I did a photo shoot on Saturday morning for my album cover. In a farm tucked away in the foothills of Table Mountain. In an ancient ammunition storage centre that was built 100's of years ago. It's HARD posing for the camera, I much rather prefer being behind the lens, as I'm SUPER CRITICAL of myself. but it was fun because Annemieke's relaxed and funny. Here are 2 of the images she sent me so far...i'm SUPER NERVOUS about the outcome..

Sometimes you need a little inspiration. here are some pics to inspire.
Feathers. flowers,  all things aztec.
Today I am feeling: happy, grateful and inspired.
I got some good news on the phone just now. that we are building a music studio.
All my dreams are coming true, one by one, tumbling down. into tomorrow...

A big Inspiration for me is Black & White/ Sepia Photography. Here is a Photographer that inspires me beyond belief. She only shoots self portraits and her gradients are mad!

Will McBride

My very first influence. I bought his coffee table book "My Sixties" when I was working in a bookstore. I was 19 at the time, and it kind of jumped out at me. He has this slightly voyeuristic way of shooting and I only just realised how much he influenced me today :)

In his words: "A Photographer has only one thing to give to his photography. His whole being. The photographs should be the result of this involvement with the life around him."

Black & White Photography covet

Some black & white photogrpahy loves for your wednesday...

 Sally Mann
This photo, titled Candy Cigarette, not just displays something, it tells a story. It is both emotional and beautiful. This is what the originality of black-and-white-photography is all about.

 Toni Frissell
In her legendary photos Toni Frissell impresses with a strong trend toward surrealism or realism. The photo presented above, although in black and white, is both extremely sharp and clear. To achieve such level of clarity in black and white is extremely hard.

 Larry Louie
Woman Of Tibet. Realism at its best. Awarded with International Photography Awards in 2007.

 Adam Hinton - Amazing journey and perspective.

Ezra Caldwell
Sometimes the moments from our life are the most valuable moments we should enjoy and keep in mind.

 Pedro Meyer
