Weekly Photo Challenge: (Lost in the Details)

i attended a formula 1 grand prix last year in Austen, Texas, which was basically a dream-i-never-would-have-realistically-had come true as i had been watching the sport since i was in primary school... and in the midst of this international event, sitting flanked by people of all nationalities from all around the world, i had the joy of seeing this South African flag draped casually over someone's chair near me... great reminder of home in the [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (Forward)

this was our wedding day and as one does, we had an original authentic replica of the Aragorn sword from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy that our friend who ran our drum circle [as one does] brought with him for the occasion... the question 'do you want me to bring my authentic Aragon sword replica?' has only one correct answer and you figure out the details later... so we took this picture: and [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (Kiss)

with the theme of 'Kiss' there are certainly a lot of different interpretations i could have given to this week's challenge, but the one that i have to share so obviously rises above all of those and that is a kiss between my wife Valerie [aka tbV - the beautiful Val] and myself on my wedding day... but as i searched for the picture i was wanting to use, namely this one which for me [...]

“Weekly Photo Challenge: (Unique)”

this is one of my favourite pics ever and it comes from the days of cameras with actual removable film and this particular photo is clearly a mistake of double exposure, but one that works so powerfully. so the people worshipping in a weekly church service appear to be standing beneath the heavens and it creates such a powerfully artistic expression: ...which to me screams of something that is completely Unique. [For the previous Photo [...]

“Weekly Photo Challenge: (Love)

with the theme of Love, the first thing that springs to mind has to be God and the beautiful Val... and so the most natural pics to choose would be linked to both, so out of the thousands i chose these two from our wedding, the time of us celebrating and officialising our Love before God and friends... the first one i would title 'catching the first glimpse' as this was the moment that tbV [...]

“Weekly Photo Challenge: (Illumination)”

one of my favourite pics ever! some friends of mine ran a worship camp in the middle of a farm in Namibia and i was part of helping put the thing together - one of the best aspects was being out of cellphone contact and apart from some electricity for instruments it was amazing to be almost completely 'unplugged' for the four days of camping [knowing that hot water could be boiled on the fire [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (Resolved)

i really like this picture of me and the reason i chose it for this particular challenge is the idea of casting a wider shadow. the past 18 months i spent as part of a non-profit organisation called the Simple Way which in some cases meant a broadening of shadow as i was given the potential to influence [to some extent] an organisation that is world-known and has an extended sphere of influence and audience... [...]

“Weekly Photo Challenge: (Surprise)”

i think Freddy Mercury said it best when he sang, "Can anybody find meeeeeeeee, some bunny to love." at first glance this may not seem to fully encompass the theme of 'Surprise' but what if i told you that your name was the beautiful Val [tbV] and it was around 2 in the morning and you had gone to sleep after a bit of a rough evening and been woken up to this friendly bunny [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (delicate)

nope, i just couldn't do it. narrowed my selection down to two and was trying to pick the photo that best represents 'Delicate' to me, but really could not choose between these two, so decided i had to share them both. what strikes me about the selection is the two completely different interpretations of the challenge that are presented: the first one is a picture of our Christmas tree star: "not a star?" i hear [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (reflections)

picture within a picture at first glimpse, this seems like an inappropriate picture to stick under the label of 'Reflections' as it is just a sideways portrait of a very sexy man [slash pre-dreadlocked me, some years ago] but what i like about this picture, is the double take that happens if you give it a moment and are drawn to the reflection that sits quietly, minding its own business, waiting for you in the [...]
