windscreen views, black and white edition.
a palm that’s clearly lost, the passenger seat doing its job, a dashboard that’s seen every pothole between Bulawayo and here, and a camp chair with the best view in the house.
the road from the city of kings to the falls is long enough to form opinions about. the bus covers it at its own pace, somewhere between scenic and are-we-there-yet. the passenger takes the job very seriously: snacks and a running commentary, both non-stop.
black and white because the dust took the colour out of it anyway. we just made it official.
swipe for the bits between the bits.

you may have seen a new herd member kicking around these parts. meet cousin Adam, fresh off the plane from the land of baked beans, bangers and mash. wamukelekile, Adam.
does it still count as a creative residency if it’s your cousin?
the terms: a bed, a braai and tripod duty. no pay. standard industry rates.
day one went airport collection, waterfall viewing, then sunset elephant and buffalo watching. not a bad welcome for a man who left the drizzle behind and landed in a heatwave.

" Then came Saturday, which was my first proper wedding shoot, and probably the most chaotic day of the lot. Without getting too involved in the details, it involved filming from a speedboat flying up the Zambezi, racing back down the river because the priest had been left behind, and a fairly spectacular nosebleed about ten minutes into the day, which left me lying in the hallway with an ice pack on my face having only just met the bridal party. I was offered a tampon as a last resort, which I politely declined. By this point I had absolutely no shame left." - .fieldnotes
swipe for the falls and the selfie that says it all.

art expedition, part 2. the damp bit.
a group of artists, a pile of easels and one very damp morning in the spray (the ponchos were not optional). part 1 was the quiet half. this is the half where everybody got wet. the spray gets to everything first: the ponchos, the easels, the lens. i spent more time wiping glass than pressing record.
swipe for the easels, the watercolours and the one painting that got the bridge better than i did. slide five is the hotel, the only dry building in the district.
thank you .expeditions .

art expedition, part 1. the quiet bits.
on brief for @ [art expeditions], filming and photographing their pioneer expedition to the same waterfall i get to call my back yard. [one line on what the expedition actually is]
the falls get all the attention. a hundred-odd metres of thunder will do that. but the best frames of the morning were the small ones.
a watercolour palette balanced on cracked ground. a sketchbook held open in the half-dark of the rainforest. an easel hiding in the only shade on the viewpoint. someone squinting through a lens like the view owes them money.
i shoot a lot of loud things. planes, drones, a bus that announces itself from two valleys away. this was the opposite. no rush and nobody shouting action, just people painting at a pace the falls had never once asked of anyone.
part 2 has the ponchos.

on the road from Cape Town to Vic Falls (via a few stop overs along the way) there lies a quaint town that feels like you’ve stepped through a time machine and into a time from the past.
matjiesfontein. a scottish railway man called james logan built it in 1884 and the whole village is now a national heritage site, which is why there’s a double-decker bus in the karoo and nobody looks the slightest bit surprised. i’m pretty sure the old rover could tell one hellava story or three, plus the yellow boots did not get the dress code memo.
leg 01: muizenberg to laingsburg, 283 km, with one very good stop in matjiesfontein.

salty review of day one of the air rally, as told by Salty Madube.
★★★★☆
i’m a zebra. i don’t fly. i came for the salt lick and stayed for the airshow.
.
the planes: very pretty, very loud, and every one of them is a she, i’m told. some of them have the look. none of them can graze, which is a design flaw.
.
the pilots: confident. so confident. every single one landed like they invented it. the Zambians went looking for Rhodes’ grave. i could have told them it’s in the Matobos, but nobody asks the zebra.
the dust: excellent. the flying, sublime. one star off for the parking. i’d get lost with them again.

every aircraft is a she, and some of these ones definitely have the look.
no voiceover, no story, just planes and a banger. sound on.
fine, a little story. a whole bunch of aircraft, a whole bunch of old school flying and a whole bunch of pilots who all swore they knew exactly where they were. the planes did the posing, i did the filming, and Dogs and Shabba are still looking for a working compass though.
if you spot a plane flying a very confident circle somewhere over [lBulawayo area], say hi.

brewin’ our hooves off here in this heat.
man is it hot in the falls at the moment. the kind of hot where a cold pint stops being a treat and becomes a plan. so the plan was a pint. the plan became a morning at with a camera. technically work.
the River L***r is brewed with Zambezi water and a touch of baobab, so every pint is basically the river with better manners. and it turns out the people really brewin’ their hooves off are the ones behind it. grain on the floor, yellow hoses everywhere, a shovel that never gets a rest and a team that makes it look a lot easier than it is.
i stood in the way (carefully) and took photos.
swipe for the hoses, the river and the people who actually know what they’re doing.
siyabonga for having us.

can we please just take a moment for the bus?!
Zebra stripes are supposed to be camouflage. nobody briefed the old blue gal.
Cameras, a drone, every now and then the bull terrier and brown dog, a gimbal and one gearbox with a stubborn refusal to find second, all live in here.
The office has a handbrake and a different view most mornings. no meetings. there’s no room. Windscreen views are coming to stories. you’ve been warned.

We interrupt the regularly s**t posting schedule with proof of life and a few frames from the last coupla weeks. (Hence the particularly noticeable improvement in our equally terrible WhatsApp response times). Needless to say, swipe to see some salt!
01 - somewhere in the Karoo, where the road is so straight you start to suspect someone drew it with a ruler.
02 – yellow line, yellow boots. walking the line for once.
03 – “you can always be sure of Shell.”
More where this came from.
