I have had a lot of good response from the photographs that I shot of Rudi and Sarah so I thought I would put a few more up. It was really a special day and I feel proud to have been able to capture some of their special day. They are on honeymoon now so I hope that they are having the best time ever.
Hope all of you are having a good week.

I photographed a wedding yesterday for Rudi and Sarah and it was super amazing. I really love the pictures that I shot and it was really easy to work with them. I have to run out today to do some errands but had to quickly back up the photos that I shot and thought I would quickly just post one to congratulate the two of them and wish them all the best in their new lives together.
I will be posting a few more of their day when I get a chance. Have a super weekend. Marcus
Rode with the boys to the dam today and it was super fun and muddy. I shot this under a train bridge on our way there. What a fun day.
Uncle Rudi finally upgraded from the old Lada and his new car rips. I tried to shoot a photograph of it yesterday after I killed myself skating but the light changed so the photo is not nearly as cool as I wanted it to be but with the little gear I had there, this will have to do. I thought I would post it just because I haven’t blogged in a while and to wish Rudi good journeys with his new baby.
Have a good weekend all. M
Lately, Rudi and I have tried skateboarding again and the only thing that always puts me off is the “cool” dudes and the rubbish park facilities we have in South Africa. We decided a while back to try and make our own plan and make some obstacles that we could use by ourselves and not have to worry about everything else. This is a box we made and the photo is of Rudi doing one of his textbook crooked grinds on it in our secret warehouse. Haha
On saturday, Rudi and I tried to hit up a skate session. It has been super long and I am not sure if the location was terrible or if it was just me but it seemed for the first time in my life that I actually didn’t care much for it. Weird. I started skateboarding about 13 years ago and never once did I want to just pack up and leave. We did this and drove out to Nelson Mandela Bridge to try and shoot the sunset shots I have been wanting to do for ages. It rained so this never happened but we did get some good shots and it was just good fun being out there.
Yesterday we had our second excursion as the SA Photographers Group and it was super fun even though we got rained out. Basically, a group of our friends has decided to try and go on little photography excursions at least once a month and then all post one photograph from the day that we can all crit on and hopefully this will help us all to learn a bit more and be excited about shooting.

Haha, I shot some more photos just for the hell of it yesterday with Uncle Rudi. The skate one is really cool and I kind of like the portrait one too. It was just a spur of the moment to turn around and flash him in the face so the flash I was holding in my hand is quite a bit overexposed but it does look quite cool anyway.
I shot some photographs of Rudi skateboarding on Friday and Saturday during my sit-out session and really like these two. I shot them at Skate World in Edenvale and just tested out some different lighting techniques.
Did a little skating tonight with Uncle Rudi and it felt good again especially skating our secret spot where no one will kick us out. Shot a few photos cause I don’t really have any of Rudi so the plan is to shoot more with him soon. I am off to bed now, so this is me ………. out!
Went riding with my dad and Rudi yesterday at the dunes and it was most definitely one of the most fun rides I have ever done. It rained this week and there was PLENTY water everywhere to play in so I rode into the middle of this mini lake and took some photographs of Rudi riding around me. What a fun thing ….
I shot this photo skating the new mall with Rudi. It’s not what I pictured it to be like so I never continued shooting. It came out quite cool though.
