stuff and stuff

I just wanted to update with some of my work. The pink book is by Sunel Veldtman who wrote Manage your money, Live your dream. I did the author shot for Tafelberg.
Then you'll see a black and white shot. This was done for Property magazine of designer...oops, i forgot. some famous designer from Joburg. my bad.

Then there's a shot of Elton John when he was in ZA. I shot it for the South African Press Association.

Then you'll find copy that I did for Sashka Rappl from Flamebox Consulting in Switzerland. The website was designed by the rad guys from Soak.


Also you'll see some cocktail shot I did for GQ magazine of Africa Lounge at the State Theater. And then a shot of Fokofpolisiekar that I did years back but just wanted to share again.

Later.

Tuks Rag

So Alet, Waldo and Michel Bega (he'll be shooting for the Citizen soon) and me shot Tuks Rag. It was like every year - drunk students and music. Two thing however were different. For one i started feeling my age this year. It was like i couldn't associate with students like i always do. Two, there was no mud. Must be global warming or something, 'cause the usual mud-party didn't go on.

International act OK GO played, but to me the ZA music was much better. One of our group of photographers commented that if they have to shoot Parlortones again they'll vomit, i felt much the same. But then when Parlortones started we all kinda started shooting and loved their music. What is it that makes us always like them?

Fokofpolisiekar were the main act and i think that there were 10 000+ people that watched them. I couldn't get any nice shots of them, partly because i was shooting pics of security trying to stop the barriers from breaking. You could hear the screws pop every now and then. Security were really straining. And that was it, we photographers left before the end 'cause we wanted to miss all the drunken traffic. So that's it. Music and drunk students. Some things never change. (p.s. All these shots belong to Beeld, so hands off!)
