Walk About

I found images in one of my folders on my PC that I forgot to blog about but I did add them to my Facebook page... I took these images on the 11th of May from our garden.

Master Photographer - Imogen Cunningham

Cunningham turned her attention to both the nude as well as native plant forms in her back garden. The results were staggering; an amazing body of work comprised of bold, contemporary forms. These works are characterized by a visual precision that is not scientific, but which presents the lines and textures of her subjects articulated by natural light and their own gestures. Her refreshing, yet formal and sensitive floral images from the 1920’s ultimately became her most acclaimed images.

Self Portrai 1974

A Quote from the One and Only and who inspired me to specialize in Flora Photography!

"I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent."

Top Gear Durban Festival 2012

Saturday, 16 June on Youth Day, I had the honour of attending the most coolest and awesome show ever, the Top Gear Festival in Durban. I’ve been watching Top Gear for years and when I found out that Top Gear is coming to Durban I just had to get tickets. It is a once in a life time opportunity and your never know if they will ever come back to Durban. Luckily we had beautiful weather on the day and I took a lot of photographs, but I only choose some of my favourites to put on my blog. Hope you enjoy and that you feel as if you were there.

Osteospermum (Boneseed)

The daisy-like flowers consists of disc florets and ray florets. Flower heads usually solitary on short peduncles, radiate, the rays curling back at night. Some species produce prussic or hydrocyanic acid and are implicated in stock poisoning. The vernacular name, bietnou is one of the very few Khoisan names still in use.
