FLASHES OF BRILLIANCE
I
Life has been moving at such an extraordinary pace that I struggle to keep up with it myself. I am now living in Jeffrey's Bay, working at Billabong. Here are some shots I got of local Billabong team rider Crystal Hulett, She kills it in the water and is an all round babe.
Cape Town has the most sublime winters. When the tourists have ascended to their respective homelands, when the South Easter has died down, when the temperature has cooled from simmeringly hot to mildly frosty, Cape Town becomes a peaceful haven with spectacularly calm, magical days. Mid-winter the light is so gentle throughout the day that you can take photographs at midday without that bright shrillness. Waves are plentiful and largely uncrowded and for the most part the South Easter that is usually pumping has given way for a much more pleasant breeze, if any. These are a collection of images in celebration of the past winter that was.
Here are some snaps from the weekend, Muizenberg Beach. Don't know about you but they give me this sense of sheer lust for life - there are some real classic, colourful characters that hang out down there. I took some photographs with a friend's splash pack, which was crazy fun though I couldn't push out of my mind the thought of a little shark coming and nibbling on my feet.
It's spring in Cape Town and while temperatures leave much to be wished for, I'm already lusting for summer. I'm all prepared with spring suits and white dresses and I'm so ready for sunrise to sunset days on the beach taking turns between icy surfs and de-frosting in the sun.
