Nan Goldin, of course

I love love love Dijkstra Rineke's work

This is me trying to widen my horizons

Greatness

I think I am obsessed with parks. How can I not be? They are designed for our enjoyment. You go up and down on a see saw or round and round on a roundabout. So simple. These days if I see a park I have to go play in it. I think Linley and Sharleen share this love with me. And I think it shows in these photos

Linley in the darkness

This is one of my favourites. It was taken on a fish eye lomo camera with 35mm slide film.

It's never a good idea to take photos whilst driving on De Waal Drive

These are some test shots taken with a cool little Agimatic camera that I was given. My first test spool was a fail so this time I just took a quick drive along De Waal and back again. I almost crashed a couple of times while I was driving so then I decided to stop on the side and that worked a bit better.  I'm pretty happy that some pictures actually came out.

It still gets me every time

I am borrowing Greg's pinhole camera that he made and testing it out. This was my first test. Considering all the variables, the fact that I found this paper in my cupboard and that the prestic covering the whole was a bit faulty, I think it came out splendidly. I hope there will be plenty more, less messed up, pin hole photos to come.

Aren't parks just the funnest?

 

 

 

 

 

This day was so great. We went to the Milnerton Market and then to a park near Sharleen and Linley's house. We swang and see sawed and slid and went round and round on the round-a-bout. I have never felt so happy and so nauseous at the same time.

House Party Party

 

 

 

 

Simon and Sara had a house party. These photos make it look like it was just  us, but really there were a big bunch of people. There was brown paper on all the walls and plastic letters stuck everywhere. It felt like a kids party- except not nearly as innocent.

Oh, Lauren!

Lauren had a punch party for her 20th Birthday. Emma and I lost ourselves in Mystics. I think the last photo shows how we were seeing- out of focus. Thanx lauren, it was great!

Bits and bits and bits

 

 

These are some photos from my last roll of film that I don't think can really be categorized. Some are from the exhibition we went to, or rather after and before the exhibition. It was a fashion photography exhibition where Jane, John and Megan had photos. It was fun because everyone was there and afterwards we went to The Dubliner and drank a lot of cheap rum and coke. Of course we later ended up at Evol.

A couple days before that Linley, Sharleen, Emma Frost and I went to Assembly to watch some bands. It was fun but not a complete party,

The dog is Jazz, Jess and Mike's puppy. She is very cute and energetic. I always mistake her for a boy dog, sorry Jazz.

Housewives and Hairy Russians

 

This last weekend was Easter weekend. This meant a long weekend of hanging out, eating food and generally doing nothing. On Easter Sunday we made a big dinner and yummy chocolate muffins. (the third photo down was taken by David Harris. I like it)
