Bands: Make-Overs

It's been a while since I've done a post on bands.

Last week Friday saw the launch of Make-Overs' new album with a Skyline on Fire and Eyes Like Mirrors. The latter 2 bands I've posted some pics of before.

I remember seeing them about 3 years ago (when I had just moved to Pretoria) as they're previous incarnation, "Sticky Antlers". I was quite intrigued by this noisy band and then I didn't see them for a number of years in which time they changed they're name to "Make-Overs".

Go check out they're Facebook page here.

Back in 2008 they were a four-piece, but now it's just Andreas on guitar and vocals and Martinique on drums and vocals and I must say I enjoy they're sound. It's dirty, lo-fi, noisy rock and it's awesome.

Here are some pics  I took of them and the other bands playing that evening.

Weddings

Good day everyone

I've added some of my wedding photography to Facebook.
Just follow the "Weddings" link under the "pages" tab to the left on the blog and you'll be re-directed to the Facebook album.
I'll be doing some updates weekly (I hope), so keep an eye out.

* Edit - My wedding images are on the blog now..

The Divine Prism

Been helping my awesomely talented friend (Lizanne Visser) out with a project of hers.

I wish I could tell you more about the concept, but I haven't delved deeper into the recesses of her mind yet, so a second post on this will have to happen soon.

For now though, here are some of the pictures of light refracting through prisms.
I love how one source of light spreads out into many when it passes through the prisms. It's quite beautiful what gets created.

Bands: Vampire9000

It's been a while since I've posted anything.

I felt like I needed to wait for something more "worthwhile" to blog about and today is that day.

After practice at Warren's place today I got home and checked my emails and lo and behold I saw an email from "Vampire9000". Who is that you may ask?

It's the brainchild of Christiaan Henn. I don't know Christiaan all to well, apart from taking some photos at a gig in 2009 of the previous incarnation of VK9, so it came as quite a surprise that he would email me.

Now I don't want to divulge too much information, but he asked if he could use some of these photos I had taken on that faithful August night. Go find out more about this cool solo project here.

And then do yourselves a favor and go download his 3 track EP "Colours" here.
GO! NOW!

Hands

I like photographing hands.
Especially whilst they're creating something.

I took this photo at the local Spar in my area of a street performer. I wanted to start a conversation with him to get his story, but he was doing his thing, so I'll leave it for another day.
