A Photograph
is the PAUSE button for Life
Photography is the art of capturing light with a camera, often via a digital sensor or film, to create an image. Yet this does not capture the true IMPACT that photographs and images have on our lives. Photographs are snapshots in time capturing the moment that reflects our memories as time goes by.
They tell our story, they remind us of the good times, and they become our legacies of a life well-lived.
What would you like to see?
I am a photographer based in South Africa and my portfolio includes wildlife, activities, landscapes, portraits, favourite locations and other stuff. I also try my hand at artistic effects.
I enjoy how images impact our lives, inspiring our thinking and even our choices. Playing with the quality of photographs means that any print can be used in the production of videos, posters, canvas art prints, fabric print designs and good old-fashioned photographs to adorn the walls of our homes and offices.
Generally, my photo editing approach ensures that the images remain as natural and beautiful as they are in the moment of their capture, keeping that true realistic feel in every moment. Here and there I might deviate from the norm, for effect. Or simply because I feel that way inclined.
Here I offer you variety of high-quality images to choose from for framing, websites and other projects of your making.

Picture of the
WEEK
It seems I’ve always been interested in photography and can remember “inheriting” a Brownie box camera before my teens. It was only later in life, after a three-week road trip to Namibia when I started producing a journal, that I realised a decent camera and a little training might be worthwhile.
Today, everyone with a cell phone is a photographer so I’m unlikely to give up my day job soon. (Umm, I'm retired - so don't have a day job anymore.) But local travelling, writing, and photography (in no particular order) are passions of mine and I practice each of these for my enjoyment. That doesn’t mean that if you’d like to pay me a vast sum of money for any of my images, I won’t accept it with alacrity. Of course, you could copy any of the pictures from the screen, but the resolution may not be great and you're going to have to rub out the watermark. Anyway, that wouldn't be nice of you. Rather buy an image.
I enjoy most forms of photography (except possibly portraiture and weddings) but if I were to choose my favourite genres they would have to be wildlife, photojournalism and landscapes. To me, a good picture tells a story and that’s why I have so much admiration for Obie Oberholzer. (No, he doesn’t know me.) And when it comes to stories, you can't beat Roald Dahl or Herman Charles Bosman. (Nope, they don't know me either.)
Here’s hoping that viewing these images or reading my blog gives you as much pleasure as it did me while making them. May they stir good memories.
