Life through a lens...

I love taking photos - I love to have my camera with me, wherever I go. I like to capture the moment behind the moment - when you are just completely immersed in the image.

Went to the sea this past week - havent been t Durban see in over a year, and it was an incredible drive down - we loved each and every moment and stopped to take cool photos, just soak in the space around us and then carry on.

We werent in a rush - with no agenda other than we couldnt be in Durbs before 2. We got there at 5:30 - talk about leisurely!

It was a really nice break though - just quiet time and chilling, with absolutely no one to answer to except ourselves and a healthy respect for each other as well.

As for photos - I love taking them, I know its the fashion right now and everyone considers themselves a photographer. But I did a photo course (black and white print course) that was one of the happiest times in my entire life and if I could have a dark room, I would definitely continue doing that. In the meantime though, I have this curious setting on my camera - monochrome and sepia and cyrillis (whatever the hell that is) and that will keep me happy with some arty photos for the moment.

So below.... a study of a rose. What a cool experiment it was - I truly appreciated it and its beauty. All shot in B&W but the rose is a divine lilac. Enjoy!
