A couple of months ago i discovered a sandwich that completely revolutionised my blogging. If you’re a bloggerist like myself, then this may just blow you away. But i am not talking about something as simple as this: […]
This sign I discovered in an international hotel in Malaysia - upon closer detection I was able to ascertain that the one fruit was banned because of its absolute stench and the other because it has hardcore staining capacity. I am not too clear as to what the punishment is if you are caught with either of these: This one was in the same country but this time on a train - a very difficult [...]
Another photo challenge and this idea i really like - the thing that is not the thing - or the question of focus - is the thing in the foreground of the picture 'the thing' or are we meant to be keeping an eye on what is in the background? is it "both...and?" So many options and so i had to use three different pics which i feel increase in terms of degree or extent [...]
another great wordpress photo challenge theme and so many different places where i could take this from but i decided this time to rather focus on one area - that of improv and my time with TheatreSports, now called Improguise, in South Africa who i got to spend about 11 years with making stuff up with and really just one of the most amazing opportunities and things to be a part of... like 'Whose Line [...]
i love the themes that are open to great interpretation or variety and 'From Above' is no different... really hard to just stick to one picture and so here is a selection of some images which capture this for me in different ways and contexts: firstly two shots from the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia, the first simply giving a sense of the height and the second for me stood out for the uniformity of [...]
black and white definitely holds something special and extra for me in terms of being able to convey the depth of thought and seriousness in the picture on the left or the heightened mystery and intrigue of the pose in the picture on the right. the shadows in both add a stronger presence to the pictures. when it comes to injecting colour though: for me the picture on the left, which has not been worked [...]
this week's challenge is a little more vague than normal which is great cos it allows for a wider scope of creativity and so i came up with these two pics which for me contain the idea of 'Future Tense' first up, the world's most famous stuffed dolphin whose name is No_bob [i was going to call him 'Bob' but he doesn't bob hence the name and the lack of a huge number of entrants [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Latest challenge on Wordpress: Many of us think of our lives as boringly normal, while others live the high life. Take a step back, and take a look at your life as an outsider might. Now, tell us at least six unique, exciting, or just plain odd things about yourself. # i like to drink Top Deck chocolate from the bag - second best option is breaking chunks into smaller pieces and microwaving, but a [...]
