Strand

Wednesday 2 November, 2011 / Vintage / Comments { 21 }

i don’t know whether to high five or punch nic grobler (of bicycle portraits, who i posted about here) for introducing me to the gahetNA National Archives. high five because it’s AWESOME, of course, or punch because i lost hours of my life browsing its magnificence.

i decided to start off with a simple keyword – strand meaning beach in dutch (having afrikaans on my side helps in this case, but google translate should get you on the right track) in order to get some vintage summer psyching going on.

Amy Scheepers

Wednesday 2 November, 2011 / Photography / Comments { 0 }

i was reminded yesterday about local photographer Amy Scheepers when Angie posted about her on It’s What I’m Into. i remember being impressed by her work when i spotted a feature on her on 10and5 earlier this year, but since i look at about a billion things on the internet everyday i forgot to share the goodness.

well, i’m sharing now! what impresses me most about amy is that she, like many young rad people, consistently pursues and refines her craft. as a student photographer her work is better than a lot of professional stuff i’ve seen. be sure to visit her website and blog – and if you’re looking for a photographer in South Africa, this is your gal.
