Photographer in training

Photographer ~ {lensman, artist, creative}

My eldest daughter 6 years old.  She is a typical girl her age who just wants to be like her mom. She is always talking about being an artist or Interior Decorator like me.  It’s amazing how close she watches me and what I do.

I was pleasantly surprised (and very proud) when I browsed through my iPad’s albums to find these pics:

She made these shapes using pipe-cleaners

In true fashion, she stood back and took a look at her handy work.

She lately has a fad for snails.

She made a house for the snails the day before not knowing they would escape and some of them got injured while trying to run.

I love this picture.  It is very true in how I see lazy afternoons in the City of Gold.

As a rookie photographer I am always snapping away. It has its pro’s and con’s. I become totally oblivious of anyone around me as I am totally consumed with getting that one pic.  This one was taken while driving through Summerstrand in Port Elizabeth. I remember the girls were tired and really wanted my attention. But I sure am glad I got it!  

 

It is nerve-racking opening your house to be photographed…

On Friday our house was photographed for a new magazine to hit the shelves in January.  It was really exciting.  The house was a flurry of activity for most of last week whilst we prepared for photographer, Kim McFarlane, to come and take the pictures.

Here are some of the pics taken by her…

That is just a snippet. You will have to buy the mag to get the rest! I am not at liberty yet to disclose the name as it is a totally new product, but will in due time.  Unfortunately my camera is out of action for a while so I cannot show you some behind-the-scenes pictures.  Hopefully I will be able to sort it out soon!

On another exciting note…I will be interviewed live on the Sunrise Breakfast Show on eTV this coming Wednesday at 06h18. (remember in the morning!)  I will be showcasing some of my inexpensive projects.  I really feel privileged and hope you will be able to tune in!
