Self-portrait

Published December 22, 2010

Self-taken shot of me playing my bass guitar. Her name is (and has been for many years) “Galadriel”, and she is a six-string solid through neck bass with active pre-amp. By the way if you are interested, you can listen to some of the stuff that Lois and I have done over the years here.

(I had to find something to test my new studio lights with :-)

Megan and Caitlin

Published December 18, 2010

Yesterday, I did a photoshoot with my nieces, Megan and Caitlin. Here are a couple of shots.

Megan

Caitlin. She did not want to get in front of the camera, but once she did she was so natural!

You can see the rest of the shots on Flickr.

It’s Christmas Time

Published November 18, 2010

We had dinner at Cavendish Square this evening for my Dad’s birthday. I should not have been surprised to notice that the Christmas Decorations are out in full force. I suppose that considering that is less than a month to go until Christmas it should have been expected.

Cavendish Square are being rather tasteful this year with their decorations; the center is fulled with subdues fairy lights, twinkling against delicate silver decorations. It is a wonderful change from the garish Christmas trees and over sided plastic reindeer. I hope that I am not surrounded by too many Boney M Christmas Carols.

I would rather hear the Psycho Reptiles – Psycho Christmas song, or some good rock versions of Christmas Songs.

Dad, Happy Birthday today. And everybody else. I hope you have a good Christmas season!

Go Bafana Bafana!

Published June 11, 2010

There are less than 5 hours until the kickoff, and South Africa has gone completely crazy. Everybody is hooting, blowing their vuvuzelas, wearing the yellow and green of our national side Bafana Bafana, all getting ready to support our team in the opening match.

The traders on the street are doing a roaring trade, with lines of cars stopping on the side of the road, hoping to still buy a flag or supporters shirt.

We are going to have a great game, and we are going to show that Africa can put on a great show!
