Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise

For this Week’s Challenge I had to delve into some deep and dark disk space. Alas, my questing is at an end! I have finally found the perfect picture that captured a surprising moment for me.

This photograph is of my cousin, at his fathers’ 55th Birthday party. I have titled it “Zombie Tiki Boy”, and this is its origin.

It was my intention to sneak up on him (my cousin, not his father) for a candid, while he was preparing lovely tropical “refreshments” for the many party guests…Suddenly, he whirled around and struck this pose. I was so surprised, my camera almost landed in a vat of juice.

This image was captured, as my heart stopped. I only wish someone had been around to capture my expression, I’m told that it was “priceless”.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections

Photo of a little dam near Clarens, South Africa. Taken on a very misty and rainy day. I was lucky enough, to be in the right place at the right time; to witness nature taking a breath before unleashing a mighty storm.

Miss S Naidoo’s 21st Birthday Party

Not long ago,  I had the privilege of capturing the Memorable 21st Birthday of a truly amazing young lady as she was given the key to freedom and responsibility by her loving parents.

It was a rather over cast day in Durban…Thankfully,  fortune smiled on us and the rain was kept at bay.  Mother nature must have known we were celebrating the birth of someone quite exquisite.

I got some really fantastic shots while we had a great time twirling, posing and giggling  with all her friends and family; before the guests arrived and the formalities began.

It was quite an experience to be part of an event filled with so much love and laughter.  This was a day to remember and I am grateful to have been a part of it.

Miss S Naidoo, may you have many, many more !(^_^)
