Natural

Recently I’d join the public and other photographers by using filters on my images and I really enjoy using them but today I decided to go old school! Leaving my photographs as is and only did a minimum of tweaks here and there. So you can see the real colours of my flora and objects that I photographed. Hope you “like”...

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.

Bouquet of Flowers

This is my first blog post since I’m finished with my third year photography course. I’m so excited to start my life as a professional photographer. Here are some of my latest flora images:



7 Deadly Sins - Greed (Avarice)

Image 1

What it is: Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.

Why you do it: You live in possibly the most pampered, consumerist society since the Roman Empire.

Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be boiled alive in oil. Bear in mind that it's the finest, most luxurious boiling oil that money can buy, but it's still boiling.

Associated symbols & suchlike: Greed is linked with the frog and the colour yellow.
