PHOTOGRAPHY

that is why I prefer being outside with the kids, playing, laughing and just being kids, myself included. I also feed my spirit from nature and everything in it, landscape photography evokes emotions in me, and to me that is something really special. When looking at a photograph, and I “feel” it, is when it speaks to my inner self. I don’t get out half as much as I would like to feed that part of me, fingers crossed, hopefully that will change soon, then I can spend time with the little people in the place I love best, outdoors!

Q: Tell your funniest, scariest, most bizarre, most touching story from a photo shoot! A: I can still remember how nervous I felt, my heart pounding in my ears. I had a night pho- tography assignment to complete and decided on the Transvaal Museum in town. It is illumi- nated perfectly at night time and I thought it would make for some interesting shots. I

dragged my mother along, safety in numbers you know, as if two would be enough! Well, I was merrily going about my business, taking photographs of the fountain with the Zulu War- rior outside when a man came up to me, leaned in close, and whispered – they are watching you. At first I got agitated and didn’t understand what/who he was referring to, but then it struck me, “they” want to rob/mug/murder me. I didn’t stick around to see who “they” were; I didn’t even take my camera off the tripod. Camera and tripod in one hand, my mother’s hand in the other I made my way back to my car as quickly as I could. As we were half running towards the car, I could see them rounding up from behind. I unlocked the car - thank heavens for central locking - got in and drove off like a bat out of hell.
