About Me:

Fine Art Photos:
I capture life as it happens on the road at that particular moment when it will be most memorable and tell a story even if it seems none is to be had - create something out of nothing in life; both a challenge and equally intriguing to myself seeing what I photographed when I sometimes have only split second to react without the comforts and repeatability of in-studio work.

Collection of sepia fine art photography taken on travels throughout South Africa. Everyday life of ordinary people in towns, cities and rural areas, spontaneous roadside shots, road signs and road works plus other construction shots as we approach the 2010 world soccer and the preparations being made to host this event - interesting and offbeat photos you will not see in any travel brochure.

Book:
The ultimate goal is to bound my fine art photography photos in book form to give a broad perspective view of Southern Africa and all it's different cultures living side by side - there is after all more to Africa than just it's wildlife and picturesque nature scenes; let's not forget the people living in it and how we shape this continent for better or worse.
