Chapmans Peak Drive

Chapmans Peak Drive.

When I think about landscape photography, I’m inspired by light, lay of the land, and water; often for a fleeting moment as captured in this photography. What makes this scene unique is how light, sky, clouds, rocks, and ocean combine to render an inspiring early morning landscape pictorial. Southwest of Hout Bay, South Africa. (2009)

Beach Jogger

Mid-day Jogger
at Table Bay.

A scene of high-interest presents itself in a quick moment that requires having a camera on hand to effect image capture. I was out strolling following the beach-line from Big Bay in Baalawberg where I lived down to Milnerton and the seaside suburb of Table Bay, just north of Cape Town. A young man jogging alone along the beach caught my attention. (2011)

Penang Harbor

South Africa Road Trip.

South Africa is considered one of the best road trip destinations in the world. From the sunny small towns of the Western Cape and dusty outback of the Northern Cape, to the mystical boondocks of Mpumalanga, roads are the lifeline of the country. They connect glittering cities with small towns that sizzle in the desert heat, with fragrant pine forests, and rocky mountains. (07 Oct 2014)

Dutch

Dutch Achitecture

In 1652, the Dutch made Cape Town their permanent home. You’ll find Cape Dutch architecture, a unique style, in the Western Cape region of South Africa. This farm is right on one of my favorite hiking trails. To get there, drive north from Cape Town on RT 27 towards the West Coast National Park. Once you’re inside, hike north along the water's edge and you’ll pass the farm near Langebaan.

Forbidden City

The early morning arrival of tourist. The site of the Forbidden City was situated on the Imperial city during the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. It was built as the palace of the Ming emperors of China and was the Chinese imperial palace from the early-Ming dynasty in 1420 to the end of the Qing dynasty in 1912. It was the home of the last emperor, Puyi, until 1924, and is now a museum. (11/27/2011)

Royal Palace, Phnom Penh

Royal Palace, Phnom Penh.

Cambodia. Royal Palace frescoes, based on the epic Sanskrit Ramayana from India, are the Cambodia Khmer version of the Ramayana (Reamker), considered a vital component of Cambodian culture. The frescoes bear irreparable damage despite the restoration efforts of a Polish artist team (1985 & 1993) that stopped restoration because of a lack of financing. (07 Sep 2010)

Penang Harbor

Port of Penang, George Town.

The Port of Penang was established with the founding of George Town by Francis Light in 1786. During the Japanese occupation of Penang in World War II, the Port of Penang was put to use as a major Axis naval base. Between 1942 and 1944, George Town served as the port of call for the submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Today, it is a major offload for tourists. (08 Aug 2021)

My Early Years

When thinking about taking photographs, choosing the best perspective when setting up a scene is a key element to capture an engaging image.

It’s a process that involves intuitiveness, perception, and inner vision. As a photographer, I face the challenge of how to transcribe my perception via technical means to bring reality to what my instincts direct and my mind envisions. This makes for photographic expression.

HIGHLIGHTS

Daily, I face a variety of choices and they always come with consequences. Should I avoid taking risks to avoid the discomforts that often comes with taking risks? Well, I take risks because it’s an operative word for ‘service’. Life is fleeting and we are here to learn, apply wisdom, and serve in ways that contribute to humanity’s progress.

Reminiscence

A collection in literary form of incidents that capture an actual moment in time, and of remembrances that convey a message of life as being liveable.

Abstracts

Abstract photos must clearly focus on structural design with an appeal to order, placement, balance, shapes, patterns, and textures. Above all, it must convey spirituality as the primary intent.

Portraiture

Photography is the simultaneous recognition with a fraction of a second of the significance of an event. The type of portrait taken gives clues to that person’s personality and sense of being.

Museum

We see photography as an art-form worthy of wall space. The very special and crucial thing that affects photography is its relationship with reality. It’s designed to show viewers a distinctive narrative, a pathway through a three dimensional photo collage to elicit wonderment and enhance perception. To tell in images what words could not express, in other words, make learning visual.

We aspire to engage and educate through the exhibition, to preserve a collection of photography that dates from the mid-1960 to current photographic endeavours. This means to address contemporary, historical, cultural and conceptual themes that are global in nature, being true to the photographer’s adventurous spirit.
