{witness} a page from a diary

This is a page from a friend's diary (not the dear diary type.) That's one way to witness someone.

{see} people on the back of a bakkie on de waal drive

 It was an incredible event. Although I missed the demolition of the famous Athlone cooling towers, it was certainly festive to be stuck in traffic on De Waal drive with everyone climbing on top of their cars and putting their children on their shoulders to see. I saw these people taking a picture of themselves with the cloud of demolition in their background. Lately I have been fascinated by what defines a portrait? Do the subjects have to be aware that they are being photographed? (Just one of the many questions that has been playing on my mind.)

{witness} candice jane


Nicola Rose, Candice Jane and I all grew up on the same farm and we formed a farm girls group originally called "NCN farm girls." I have no idea what we did in the meetings besides eat sugar cane, but it certainly was fun to  have our own secret club! As I'm sure you've noticed...I like second names...they are so under appreciated! Don't you think? Candy asked me to take this pic for her for an interview for Top Billing, doesn't she look adorable?

{meet} me


inspired by rosie hardy's many self portraits

{witness} ceire has made it


Ceire has been witnessed. We had our first fight (a must in all relationships) and she has been promoted to the 'witness' category. Here are my sketches of the photos I took of her.

{witness} drinks on the beach at the most southern tip of africa with friends...phew, what a mouthful


The beach, the beers, the boats, the braais. A wonderful weekend to witness.
