What you find when you dig deep down in the boxes that are way at the back of the pile high up on the cupboard

SNEAK-PEAK
Hennie & Yolande
Joburg
Just a quick one? Ok!
We pitched the idea, of shooting all the guests as Mug-Shots instead of the boring old usual, to super-cool Hennie and Yolande and they LOVED it! So we designed a height indicator as a backdrop, made up a cop-shop board for everyone to hang their neck and packed the RING FLASH, and away we went!
Here are some of the very authentic results.

Flashy New Toys
I never used to geek out over cool kit or fancy gadgets but that was long long ago. I don't even know that guy anymore. Today we picked up our new portable flash pack and Ring Flash. For those of you who don't know what that is, here is what someone very clever wrote on the internet about it.
"A circular-shaped electronic flash unit that fits around a lens and provides shadowless, uniform frontal lighting..."
Fancy stuff ? Yes, we agree. After we managed to figure out how it worked we had quite a bit of fun. We thought bokkie our wonder dog would make the ideal guinea pig.

"The Great Catch-Up" Part 4
Michael and Marissa
Joburg
Travis has known Michael his whole life. Their families have moulded into one huge crazy bunch of English, Irish and Scotsman. This was evident once the reception got swinging. Literally. There were some wonderful highlights for each of us. Travis says it was seeing Michael in a suit, and really pulling it off. For me it was seeing Belle (Michael's super tom-boy niece) in a suite! She was adamant she was gonna wear a suit, "...like the boys..." she said. And Marissa of course looked absolutely gorgeous!
We shot the portraits in a field that felt more like Colorado in the Fall rather than Alberton in Herf's. We moved quickly to get back to the party, fearing it had already begun without us. From then on it was bum-shaking, hands-in-the-air-stuff as the Rolling Stones and Co. carried us deep into the night.

"The Great Catch-Up" Part 3
Colin and Lucy
Pretoria
Some weddings are real hard work, and then there are weddings like Colin and Lucy's. Laid back. We had such a great time documenting the day. Pretty church, pretty people, etc etc. And we got to ride in the most bad-a$$ limo we have ever seen! Check them out at www.uslimos.co.za.

Now for what was inside
This little cutie has a button for an eye. Clever. What an awesome surprise that flew across oceans to end up nesting on our chalk wall.

Forgotten Pleasures:
Post-Art
Sure things are more convenient, safe & reliable in our super modern age but we could argue...un-excitingly so. So many great pleasures are making their way onto the extinction list and at such a rate that we barely remember them at all.
Well i'm remembering one of them now. Thanks to a great friend in the US of A, who caused this beautiful little thing to end up in our postbox in Sunnyside. welovelyndsay It's not addressed to me, but to Maike, and although she has yet to come home and open it i had to share it with you all. Who ever you might be.
What a great feeling such a pretty little surprise can create in our busy lives. We should all make an effort to post beautiful things like this to each other far more often. Sure it's what's inside the envelope that matters but it is what's out-side of it that has made my day.
love
travis
