What is in a Rose

A new photography project of mine, while I am quite terrible at knowing one flower form another, and I have no intention of testing how to get a green thumb. As with the entire South Africa we find flowers everywhere, and Johannesburg is no exception, which means a fantastic opportunity for the photographer, whether professional or otherwise. Our gardens are not the only places that interesting blooms are coming out and claiming a small spot in the sun. So I figured I would try photograph some of these with my camera, from a simple rose the garden to where ever. This will take a while and I am in no rush to get it over with, and I take this project on not as the professional but simply as a photographer, so lets see where this ends up.

Born and brewed in South Africa, I grew up in amongst a changing South African as it began re-writing its history. I was probably about 10 when I got my first camera, all I truly remember is how I loved taking pictures of absolutely everything. I always remember during my school days being asked what i wanted to do and how I never had a real answer. Somewhere along the way I began a career in the IT field, and for 15+ years I invested myself into the world of technology. It was only when we suffered from a tragic incident in our lives that had a hard look back at my life. As my family and me worked through the tragedy I realised that I needed to be make a change. I have since found that old love of photography and taking photos of absolutely everything. In creating these images I find a calling worth doing. Now I spend each day with various people helping them create photo's of their special moments and of absolutely everything.
