23 July 2010 VanFokKingTasties

I got a new camera this week. After my last post about my camera theft I upset a few people, so if I did I apologise.

I went to the Vanfokkingtasties show at the Van der stel sports grounds in Stellenbosch on Friday. I have not been to a concert in Stellenbosch in years and the atmosphere in the small sports hall was electric. It was hot and damp in inside. My lens immediately fogged up as I entered due to the contrast in atmospheric conditions outside. I had to hold my camera against my body to heat it up to reduce the fogging.

What a fogging show. I saw Fokofpolisiekar in 2008 when they played at the Cobra Rally. This was something different. The guys looked re-energised and hungry again. The close proximity of the crowd fired them up even more. Wynand up to his old antics, and Francios was on Fire.

Heuwels Fantasties worked the crowd into a frenzy with "Pille vir Kerfees" and A King got the students singing along to their favourite tracks.

Van Coke Cartel was amazing. The talent of Mr Van Coke really seems to have no bounds.

22 July 2010

I am goingthrough some of my old files on my hard drive and decided to upload some older photos while I am without a proper camera. The Moto shots was taken at a quad expo at the Brackenfell high school in 2008.

Every time I think I have problems or like is not fair, I look at these photos and realise how lucky I actually am. This lady is well known in Cape Town. She lost both her legs in a train accident, but she still manages a smile.

These are some maternity shots we did for a close friend

15 July 2010 Big Swell

Yesterday was Big Wednesday. Huge Atlantic swell started pounding the coastline. If it was not for the international surfing contest in J Bay this week, the ocean would have been filled with surfers. to put this fist image into perspective, the spray of this wave reaches as high as 10 meters into the air.

Is it really neccessary to have a sign in the station showing that it is prohibited to carry an AK 47?

Really?

Are there people in this country who would think is is OK to carry an AK47 to the train station?

14 July 2010 It's Raining

I love a rainy day. everything comes to live. A tarmac road turns into a mirror. Everything and everybody has a purpose. Nobody lounges around. Everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere, to stay dry and to avoid the rain. If I had more time and a waterproof camera I would spend all day taking photos in the rain.

I will start naming ma photos from today in order to add some atmosphere to my images.

11 July 2010 Prime Circle at the Fanfest

Prime Circle performed at the Fanfest in Cape Town to a capacity crowd. This was one of the last big acts to perform in the mother city for the world cup. They absolutely rocked the crowd. They managed to trip the power for the fanfest for the first time since the world cup started, and that includes those rainy days when Portugal played. The crowd was not phased by the power outage and sang along till the song finished.

Now the World Cup is over. Finish en kla. Dont you somehow feel empty? What now? I think as South African and capetonians we can be very proud of what we acheived in this world cup. This is not the end of a great sporting event, but the begining of anew chapter in the history our nation.
