With the wonderful support of Eslie Basson of Fujifilm South Africa, I was able to give some photogrphy classes to pupils at a Winter School arranged by the amazing NGO, Ikamvayouth. It was the first time that these youngsters had experienced the joy of using a camera. They mostly live in 'informal settlements' or 'favelas' and seek out every available educational opportunity. My profound thanks to Eslie Basson and Fujifilm whose corporate social responsibility in South Africa has been extraordinary and exemplary, and to the selfless folk who run Ikamvayouth. ikamvayouth.org/

The classes took place in, among other venues, schools made of ships' containers and located in Ebony Park and Ivory Park- vast, sprawling shantytowns on the north-eastern outskirts of the giant, greater Johannesburg megalopolis. Ikamvayouth has made a huge difference to the lives of innumerable youngsters, providing them with mathematics and science education and thus enabling them to enter universities and other institutions of higher learning. Undoing the immeasurable damage of Apartheid remains, in South Africa, a daunting task.

One takes huge pleasure in experiencing the passion and enthusiasm that these talented and gifted youngsters display when leaving with their little SD cards with their first photos! They are the essence of our potentially gilded future! :-) :-)

Merry Christmas and all the best wishes for the New Year for everybody! Have much photofun!

Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad.

 

Playing around with different lighting. I intentionally underexposed this shot a bit, to help capture the setting sun's effect on the mountain!

 

Happy weekend everyone!

This was just fun. I took my Domburg Groynes photo that I put up last year. Flipped it horizontally then stitched it to a sort of diptych. Although I'm not really into this type of "photofun" - I'm a very serious man ;) - I liked the result. A lot. So here it is.

Experimenting with UV lights and different plants in my backyard at night. It's fascinating how some plants glow when exposed to UV light.
