I have blogged about Parker Fitzgerald before, he is a super talented photographer who does a lot of work for Kinfolk and if you are shooting for that magazine then you know you must have some serious magic eye. I went onto Parker’s site and pulled some photos off to show you guys. They are so beautiful and he manages to capture such a rich and emotional feeling in all of them.
Ok so we are 1 day late with the next instalment in our Levis and Me project, Andrew was on a plane but he’s back now and here is my next face – Roger Sivuyile Lupuwana. Roger is young and sweet and one of the nicest people I know. He is currently studying to become a creative TV/movie show maker he is also a waiter at The Good Luck Club in-between studying, so if you find him bringing you a twice fried beef you can give him a hello and a high-5.

*Andrew has Hannah Shone on his site today and she has a really nice pair of grey ombres on, so click here to meet her and her new denims.
I’m off to the Eastern Cape tomorrow morning, I’ll be gone for the next few days. I’m really looking forward to this little break, I’m going to read and laze my face off and hopefully change colour a bit. For some or other reason my ‘scheduling’ button does not want to work, so I won’t be posting any ramblings till Wednesday. Enjoy your weekend guys xx
I’m going to be Instagraming I’m sure, so if you want to see a bit of what I’m getting up to,which might involve a lot of me eating white bread sandwiches, (always makes for a good photo) you can follow me on Twitter, if you want.
A few months ago Este and I completed a campaign for Exclusives Books for their Lekkerleesfees Festival. Here are the 3 posters that we came up with and executed, with the help of the awesome team from Injozi (the talented Ross Garrett took our pictures for us). We didn’t have much time or money for this campaign, but we really liked how they came out in the end and apparently so did the Pendoring’s judges. Hee.
So I hear you asking, what is the Pendorings? Well it’s an awards show that celebrates Afrikaans advertising and it was held on Friday night in good old Midrand, where we actually won a gold Pendoring AND some sweet sweet cash money, whohoooo that I have already succesfully spent in my head. So my weekend was pretty cool, how about yours?
Hilary Faye made these collages, she’s a Melbourne based designer/illustrator and I think her stuff is just grand, strange, but grand. She is also a photographer, here are a few examples of her magic eye. Click on her name to see the rest of her portfolio.
This weekend Shane and I were featured in the City Press magazine in an article about what drives couples who work in the creative arts and how they get on with one another. They interviewed 1 couple from Durban, 1 from Cape Town and 1 from Joburg (Shane and I). My friend Doug took the photo of us and I think it came out really really nicely.
A new friend that I have just made, named Sara was also featured in the article, I guest blog for her on itswhatiminto – I didn’t know she was going to be in it, it was a nice surpirse when I saw her and her husband face. Hello Miss Sara, what a small world.
Well anyway, I thought I would share the photo with you because I really like it. Hands up. Smiley face.
