I love the space around Durban's harbour, especially when there is a sunset and the area begins to light up for the evening's activites. This is one of the first photos I ever took when I got my camera. Durban holds a very special place in my heart, so being able to show it off in all it's glory always makes me happy. Durban's harbour has always been iconic, mainly because of its significance as being one of the main refuelling stations for European explorers bound for the East. Naturally, the creaky wooden decks and linen sails once found in the harbour have given way to grotesque metal monster ships, and cranes that flail their arms around wildly on the jetties moving crates and machinery. Nevertheless, there is a beauty that can be found here, and its importance in terms of Kwa-Zulu Natal's heritage is easily noticeable.

Birds, Stellenbosch Vineyards
One thing that I have loved about now working at Waterford is the wild life I get to experience every day. I still haven't identified what this is, but I managed to catch it in the late afternoon on my way to check up on our Chardonnay block.
Portrait, Somerset West
I have such a love for portraits, particularly when they are in black and white. However, I'm really terrible at capturing people in special moments. They either feel awkward in front of a camera, or I panic and just miss the moment all together. I can't tell you how much it irritates me that I can't get any good shots from my time spent with people. But the only way to get better is to practise, right? So I've been clicking away with Kirsten as my subject. Hold thumbs I figure the "art of the portrait" out.
