photostory

these are a few choice images from my photo story on a couple who were into body modification and suspension.

first attempt

here are some of the first lomo pics i ever took. i am steadily improving. hopefully.

they were all taken using 120mm film.

endless possibility

lomography is a newly acquired hobby of mine. a world of old school photography where if you're clever, images can turn out like this....

soon, i will go to the trouble of scanning and uploading my very own, somewhat less impressive, lomo photographs :)

Festival

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

Linda

A colouful lady I came across in the Queen Street taxi rank.

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

Photo from a class fashion shoot :) thanks to Caeri Dunnell for modelling

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.
