There is a spot where the Indian and Atlantic ocean come together
and you stand there, and there is a feeling like the world is flat
and you are at the edge of the map. South Africa has beautiful,
surreal coastlines that make you feel like you are in another world.

The family we stayed with I owe so much gratitude. They were incredibly
hospitable and treated me like family.

I learned so much on this trip. More on that with the next batch of photos.

Friends, I have much to share with you!
Travel, weddings, portraits, audio, and even
some words on things I have learned over
the past month while being across seas.
I cannot wait for you to see!

A little bit of personal photography as a refresher.

It has been a while since I have gone out exploring
with just me and my camera. Always I have a couple
with me, or a musician or two. On my last few
engagement shoots, I caught myself taking a few
photos of the city or something other than the couple.
What I saw inspired me and I wanted to take that
with me. As a creative person, it is extremely
important for me to try new mediums and to grow
outside of my craft. This is a part of that exploration.
