Me and my love for photography
I
first discovered a fascination with taking pictures when I was a young
child. A family member had given me a Kodak box camera and I shot two or
three rolls of film. The resulting images were a disappointment. The
expense of film and developing prevented me from going much further with
it at that time; but the seed was planted.
I was a teenager when I truly discovered my passion for taking pictures. I got my hands on a 35mm Pentax and started taking it everywhere I would go. During my travels I meet a few girls that wanted to get into modelling so I helped them setup their portfolios, I got my hands on some developing equipment and a photo enlarger and processed the flim myself.
A few years later I would put photography aside when I decided to pursue another of my interests, music. As the years passed, I kept many examples of my photographs around, even hanging a few pictures on my walls.. Often people would ask me why I didn’t continue taking pictures, as they looked at them.
I finally put my pursuit of music aside and return to photography. By now I started travelling around the world with South Africans National Airline SAA and my passion for photography started all over again.
In 2005, I was in Canada and bought my first Digital SLR, a DSC-P92 Sony cyber-shot 5.0 megapixel camera. In 2008 I entered into the more modern world of DSLRs with a Nikon D60 and in 2012 added a Nikon D7000 to my collection.
