I still find it hard to believe, but the doctor told us he was a boy - even then. Wonder why.....?

Right now he seems convinced the remote will turn anything -- but anything -- on or off. The TV, the aircon, dad's camera (and possibly even dad).

Doesn't work when we have our two-weekly four-hour long blackouts, though. Maybe it can turn off the flow of money to the Eskom head honcho -- what; that guy earns R9 000 a day, basic salary?

Small change, I suppose.

To celebrate the Silver Surfers amongst us - and more specifically, the over-60s -- Canon will be giving away another EOS 400D bundle -- read the May issue of Charged Southern Africa for more information... but in the meantime, use your imaginations and do your own "Silver Surfer" shots.

I got him his own pair but he insists on wearing mine.....

Shadows in the woods weave a world of mystery, branches cast long, reaching shapes across the path, while leaves flicker patterns on the ground that shift with every breath of wind. Light and dark dance together, giving the forest a quiet, magical depth.

Looking for spiders in the garden. Typical.

Every image is a gentle negotiation between the seen and the unseen.

Black and white portraits and minimalist places dissolve into a calm, lucid silence—where light sculpts the hidden side of the soul and architecture reveals its poetic geometry.

Moments suspended between consciousness and dream, memory and presence, a journey in the language of introspective visual and photographic poetry.

In ogni immagine si consuma una silenziosa trattativa tra visibile e invisibile.

I ritratti in bianco e nero e i luoghi minimali si dissolvono in un silenzio lucido—dove la luce scolpisce il lato nascosto dell’anima e l’architettura rivela la sua geometria poetica.

Attimi sospesi tra conscio e sogno, memoria e presenza, un viaggio nel linguaggio dell’introspezione visiva e della poesia fotografica.
