I recently shot the poster and press release for Reality Bites, a play currently on at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre. I went to the opening on Friday night last week and had such a laugh. If you are a fan of politically incorrect humour, you should make a plan to see the show which runs till 7 March 2010. I have really enjoyed seeing the posters around town, and even saw my photo on the cover of Good Life Magazine (cellphone photo). So here’s my first tearsheet…

My soon to be sister in law (Lee-ann) and her boyfriend Justin recently gave up city life for a rural, partly subsistence existence in the “Kei”. Their dream was to open a back-packer style surf/safari tour operation (Swell Tours) and since December have made that dream a reality.

Needing to check it out after hearing such amazing stories we headed down in the beginning of this month. The location is stereotypically Transkei. No running water, electricity only via generator, green hills, clear as crystal night skies, freshly caught seafood, and epic surf. I have a few more photos I need to process but these are the ones I’ve worked so far. Looking at these I just want to go back. It’s an honest, simple life down there, but hard as Chopper Reed to get right. Well done guys, and thanks for the awesome holiday.

Sunday was epic. A highlight of all Sunday’s past. Spent the day with my fiancé and some of my closest friends minus one. Here is some kind of a visual diary of the day with a title taken from one of the day’s endless, soon to be infamous quotes. From our starting out in the forrest in Umhlali to making our way to the sunset lookout to dinner at the Bush Tavern, Umdloti’s finest.

If this works it means I’ve successfully posted a photo from my phone.

These pics were taken on the same trip as Nick’s wakeboarding photos. Jonty Neethling rides for Fox as well. He’s a straight up cool cat with more steez than Rolf Offerman. On one of the days riding his jumps in Somerset West I tried out his bike and pretzeled his front wheel, I took a serious beating myself. Live by the sword die the sword. Sorry about the wheel me boy.

Shot these quite a while ago at a friend’s birthday and was reminiscing yesterday when I realized I hadn’t posted them up. So here are some golden oldies…
