Ek was heeltemal gefasineer met die mak hoender by La Petite Dauphine in Fransschhoek. Ek het ‘n troue daar afgeneem en die aand toe ek by die onthaal instap, sit Hendrik heel gemaklik op ‘n vleuelklavier terwyl ‘n pianis klasieke musiek speel. Ek was in vervoering! ‘n Mak hoender wat op ‘n vleuelklavier sit tussen klomp mense!? Ek is gewoond aan plaashoenders – die soort waarvoor jy maar versigtig moet wees. Ek het bietjie met Marie-Louise van La Petite Dauphine gesels oor die merkwaardige hoender en sy vertel my toe Hendrik se storie:
“Ons het Hendrik so 3 en half jaar terug gaan haal in ‘n “informal settlement.” Ons het ‘n dammetje voor Café BonBon en het ‘n hele paar eendjes daar gehad, maar omdat ons in die berge is, is daar nou en dan rooikatte. Oor ‘n tydperk het die rooikat ons eendjies begin vang en opvreet. So half deur die proses het ons gedink ons moet nou die rooikat vang en op die stadium het ons meer van eende as hane gehou, en ons het vir Hendrik as “lewendige aas” gekry. Maar helaas, ek dink die rooikat het meer van eende as hoender gehou, so al ons eende is opgeeet en Hendrik is gespaar. Die rooikat het seker na die volgende plaas beweeg en daar sit ons nou met Hendrik!
Hy is ‘n slim karnallie, in die dag is hy heeltyd in of rondom Café BonBon waar hy dit love om te sosaliseer met die gaste en die aand slaap hy op die klavier. Hierdie klavier slapery is nou eers onlangs, hy het altyd bo in die magnolia boom geslaap. Maar jy het seker agter gekom sy stertvere is bietjie yl, so ons dink sy balans is bietjie af, of ons is seker in denial dat hy besig is om oud te word, want ons is baie lief vir hom.
Oor die jare het ons agter gekom hy is baie lief vir vark worsies en wortel koek, tot so ‘n mate dat hy homself gehelp het eenkeer met trou wortel koek….”
Die aand toe ek klaar foto’s geneem het, het ek Hendrik agter sy oortjie gekrap tot sy ogies toe geval het. WHAT A TREAT!

Daar is ‘n sagte plekkie in my hart, waar die Karoo nes geskrop het…
Film: First Fruits
February 7th, 2014 | News,Other,Personal,Shoots | Subcribe to RSS
When i was studying, I loved shooting film. The anticipation and being part of the development process was magical. I would spend HOURS on end in the darkroom. Sometimes even days. On average, it took me 3.5hours until I was happy with a single print. It was so rewarding that it was worth every hour and every cent. I’ve been missing shooting film so a while ago I asked Henk Venter if I could borrow one of his old film cameras. (If you are in the Stellenbosch area and wanting to do a short coarse in photography, he is the one to talk to!) I ended up choosing an old school K1000 Pentax with a 50mm f2 lens: manual exposure, manual focus…and since it’s little battery was dead, i had to guess the exposure for the first halve of the film –> talk about shooting excitement.
Here are some of the photos. It feels like “first fruits”, like there is still many to come. Thank you Jesus for giving me this photography talent. I love using it!
PS: My favourite shot for this film is getting it’s own post soooon…
400 iso slide film, C41 processed. ENJOY!

This kid is next level cute!!!!!!
I photographed Stuart and Tabitha’s wedding back in 2009. (See their wedding images HERE) Photographing their family made me remember why I loved shooting them so much! They are so relaxed and little Lliam …well, he is cuteness to the max.
Enjoy Stuart and Tabitha!

Bianca het ‘n glinster in haar oog wat helder skyn. En ek sien dit in haar mammie se oë ook. Mag niks of iemand dit ooit wegneem nie!
Dit was heerlik om weer te kon connect. (Ek en Maritza was saam op skool in Caledon.)
Geniet julle kiekies! Baie liefde xxx
