Collect moments, not things.

Two shot composite, courtesy of:

Couldn't find any of the above profiles on , so be sure to check out them links. Both artists have some solid work that they have gifted the creative community for this kind of thing. What Champs!

As mentioned a few posts back,, I haven't done much shooting lately, so I thought tonight would be worthy of some late night creativity.

Hope you all enjoy!

I'll also release a before and after of this shot on stories sometime tomorrow morning if anyone out there is keen to see how much editing went into this one.

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when we look back everything is different?

Just some food for thought, folks 💭.

P.S. Also noticed I'm super close to 2k followers. Much love in return to all of you out there. I've never been one to take the numbers on Instagram too seriously, but still pretty rad to see a decent number of humans looking at my work. It's been a slow process but looking forward to where this creative path will lead me and to sharing my view on the world with you all in the future.

I'll also release a before and after of this shot on stories sometime tomorrow morning if anyone out there is keen to see how much editing went into this one.

PEACE!

Amazing weather, good people and great music made for a great day. Also got outdoors behind the camera for the first time in a while. Felt great!

Starry-Skied.

______________________________________________

Tried one of these composites when I was still shooting on my old crop sensor and the shot was really meh in comparison, so, on my final night in Paarl after a week in the dust at Afrikaburn, I decided to give it a bash once again. AND IT WORKED OUT! Haha.

The night sky in Paarl, Western Cape, is insanely beautiful. Just for enough away from the city of Cape Town, you step outta your house and suddenly, thousands of stars are staring down at you.

Really looking forward to making a trip back there sometime this year.

A Burning Sunrise.
______________________________________________

Back in 2014 I was able to capture a shot similar to this, with rays of sunlight coming through the heart of a Robo-Bunnyfied San Clan during sunset. This shot, however, was captured during sunrise on the final morning of my Afrikaburn 2017 experience.

Having awoken 2 hours later than expected (and after setting alarms for 04h00 ~ it's the Burn, so somethimes things just don't necessarrily work out as planned, haha) I headed on over to 's camp, woke her up, got some coffee and we embarked upon our final journeys to witness what was left of the 05h00 sunrise burning of Yggdrasil, Tree of Life: A gigantic installation that had a wide inner-edge spiralling staircase that bare within its centre, a 1:1 replica of a Boabab Tree seed. Something that must have taken hundreds of labor-intense hours to complete.

As the embers of Yggdrasil sat burning, I turned around to explore the surrounding area and found the sun sitting right in the middle of the San Clan, just as it once did three years ago.

Great way to sign off a brilliant, yet different burning experience.

Round and round it goes 🌍
______________________________________________

Back in the land of the living after a glorious 7 days in the Tankwa dust.

This shot, composed of 39 separate frames was captured up the road from our camp, Camp Fort Wenty, where we gifted Craft beer and cocktails to our fellow burners. We had some super rad Yay-bours all the way from Berlin that we really connected well with, not forgetting our fellow South African burners.

A good time, indeed, with many more images to follow ✌
