{Photo Challenge} Strangers

When I woke up this morning and looked out my window, one thought crossed my mind - "I'll be damned if I'm going outside in this weather in search of a few strangers to photograph!" So, admittedly, this is an old photo - taken in May of last year.

While I was in wedding school, our class hosted a comedy evening at Montecasino in Fourways to raise funds for the Wedding Wish. The ladies in this photograph, while members of my class, are complete strangers to me - I don't know their names, where they live, what music they like, or even why they were at wedding school - and I never asked. One could argue that this makes me antisocial, but I wholeheartedly doubt that they know any of these things about me either, and they never asked. I'm not one to roll with the crowd, preferring the company of a few select individuals instead, so the fault lies with no one.

It is fortunate for me, though, that on this cold, grey day I happened across this photo - a photo I nearly deleted a number of times. My hand was only stayed because, believe it or not, I'm hopelessly sentimental.
I'm also tickled by the irony of this photo - such happy looking individuals hosting a comedy evening. I chuckle inside.

Tomorrow I promise a brand new photo, not one rescued from the archives.

Until then!
Peace and Love!

{Photo Challenge} A Street

Not just a street - my street. I know I said I'd start this challenge tomorrow, and I had every intention of doing just that, but... It snowed in Joburg today, for those of you who haven't seen the million and one posts on Facebook, and I was hoping to catch a few snowflakes falling. Alas... It didn't snow where I stay. Still, the lighting was interesting, kind of moody, and I don't think this turned out too badly! Of course, I tweaked it slightly - what photographer doesn't - but it's not far from the original. 

Now I go eat lunch, my tummy calls!

Until tomorrow!
Peace and Love!

Another Challenge! {Copious Amounts of Non-Sarcastic Applause}

I know how much I enjoyed my 30 Day Challenge, and you all seemed to as well, judging by the number of people stopping by for some light reading! I miss writing everyday, and having the topic laid out before me - sometimes the creative brain just refuses to co-operate! - and so I'm at it again. This time though, the challenge is photography!

I came across this challenge on, you guessed it, Pinterest, and I'm keen to give it a shot (see what I did there?)! It can't hurt to improve upon my (greatly limited) photographic skills, who knows when I'll need to take my own photos in a pinch?

{DISCLAIMER: I possess only a simple point-and-shoot, so don't expect the world from me! I hear from pro photographers that one can learn to work magic with these casual toys if one just learns the basics, so let's hope I learn something over the next 31 days!}

Kicking off tomorrow, so stay in the loop!

Until then!

Peace and Love!
