Whenever I go to the beach, I promise not to shave the entire time I am there. The problem is that I have been at the beach for some time now and really am starting to look a bit rugged. Anyway, Alan decided to join me in my venture and I shot this photo to show him at his peak. I could be wrong though, maybe, like me, he still looks the same or worse now. Al’s the man.

On my last night with the Tweeds in Cape Town, I shot this photo of them all together being funny on a couch outside the Independent Armchair Theatre. It was an amazing show and out of the 60 shots I took of this scene, I think this one works the best. They are an awesome bunch of people.

My friends from Harris Tweed were recording the day before yesterday so I went passed to hang out and just enjoy the studio and their company.

I had 3 ideas of the career I wanted to one day follow and these were photographer, sound engineer and chef. I even job shadowed Darryl for a bit and we were laughing cause if I had’ve carried on with sound engineering, Darryl would’ve been my REAL boss. However, I chose photography and I still have plenty to learn, but I do really enjoy music and the studio so much.

Anyway, I shot a whole bunch of photographs in the studio but for some reason I am having MAJOR problems today trying to convert the raw NEF files and it is going to drive me mad so I am just going to put these ones up for now. Haven’t shown the band yet so hopefully they will like them. I want to be in a band, or play music at least. It really must be the best thing. The Harris Tweed posse really inspires me a lot.

Good friends, good music, good fun, good times and a lot of talent and laughs. Check them out if you haven’t yet.

I shot a bunch of photographs for my friends from Harris Tweed last year at the Levi’s Rage for the Revolution event and never really looked at them much until Alan’s sister asked me for these photographs for her to scrap book with. I had a look at them and really liked these two. Al is one of my favourite subjects.

Cheri and Darryl played a chilled set inside the Mega Musica Store at the V & A waterfront and because they never needed to set up, we shot some mess around photographs just outside the store. Show was a rocker. Coffee, buddies, good music, Alan’s ass, ice tea, Police Academy DVD’s for R49.95, comfy tables and cool gear. Awesome…..
