To the many people who think I have dropped off the face of the planet, and to those who have considered my being eaten by a lion, I am pleased to announce that I am still alive and kicking. The plan to return home to Vancouver, Canada at the beginning of this year was rerouted when I was selected for a two-week photography competition in Cape Town. My best friend from Pretoria was also selected for the competition, so I figured a road trip and two weeks spent in Cape Town would be a perfect way to conclude my two years in South Africa. I wasn't expecting to have been chosen as one of the final 13 people and given the opportunity to spend the next 3-5 years learning and working, taking photos while traveling around the world. But alas, here I am, living in Cape Town--one of the most picturesque cities I have ever seen--and about to journey overseas to work in Aarhus, Denmark for the next three months.
Maybe this video of the two week photography "bootcamp" that I participated in earlier this year will give you a better idea of what I'm in for:
I will be updating this site regularly, not only because it has been assigned to us at work, but also because I love going back and reading the other two blogs that I started (when I moved to France, and then to South Africa), and regret the fact that I didn't follow through on them. This site will keep you updated about my life, while I share anecdotes about my job, the places I visit, and the people I meet.
