Festival

Some images I took at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown this year

stripes and spots

Part of a series I'm doing of animals in balck and white. I shot them all in a kind of high-key studio style.

A sad tail

Donkeys are a common sight in Grahamstown. But they are often overworked and mistreated by their owners.

Pretty as a picture

Body Suspension

This is an image from my current photostory on the middle class. John Wayne Stevens attempted to break the world record for body suspesion which stood at 8 hours. He suspended in the "Superman" position via eight hooks in his back and legs. He did not succeed in breaking the world record but doubled the South African record (held by himself) by suspending for 5 hours.
