After feeling sick and miserable most of the week, I can think of no better way to have eased into the weekend than Tape Hiss and Sparkle’s album launch last Friday. Not only was the music lovely (both TH&S and supporting act Mesmer’s) but the event started and ended nice and early, something for which my flu-ridden self was most grateful.
It was a dark and stormy night, but inside the Kimberley Hotel, those who braved the intense cold were rewarded with a lovely laid-back evening courtesy of Benguela, Sannie Fox and Gary Thomas.
At the end of May, I had the honour of shooting my second cover for Your LMG. Adrian and I met Kanyi outside the Gugulethu Mall one rainy Saturday and the first thing she asked us was ‘have you been up onto the roof?’ From her first enthusiastic scramble onto the parking lot roof to her energetic jumping off an old Beetle, Kanyi was a pleasure to work with.
We spent the day visiting her haunts; here is the final printed magazine as well as some unpublished shots.
Since the beginning of February, I’ve been taking photos for #Tuesonfire at &Union, the brainchild of Tecla Ciolfi/@Texxonfire. If you visit &Union on a Tuesday, you can expect a chilled evening outdoors featuring stripped down, acoustic performances from a variety of interesting musicians, and all for free.
Here are some of the photos from the first 2 months…
The first weekend of May was the annual olive festival in Riebeek Kasteel & Riebeek West. While my mom and I have been to the Riebeek Valley a few times, we’d been just once before to the olive fest and were keen to check it out again, so we went up on Sunday May 6.
