Home Renovations

With my sister in town visiting, and a friend of mine currently renovating his house, it was a perfect opportunity for a DIY home-renovation shoot. The backdrop was perfect, and the two of them made the shoot a lot of fun. The actual renovations ended up taking weeks and weeks longer than planned (isn't that always the case?), but it looks awesome now that the place is finished, and these photos can serve as a nice memory of the process (...or maybe a reminder to think twice if he's thinking about renovating again in the future).

Cederberg

In my five years living in South Africa, I had always intended on going hiking in the Cederberg Mountains, but for some reason, I never got there. I finally got the chance this time around, and boy was it worth it. With some of the best company around, we drove the few hours out of Cape Town to the Sanddrif camping grounds and the next day, hiked up to the Wolfberg Cracks. The hike is pretty much straight upwards, but it goes by fairly quickly. I'm sure you could get there and back in just a few hours, but we took our time and spent hours exploring the spectacular towering rock formations around us.

A Perfect Pair

I had so much fun shooting with these two, and they sure put up with a lot from me: not only did I make them hike to our locations in the middle one of the hottest days in a while, but I made them run over and over and over again once we got there! These two know how to make each other laugh, and had me cracking up most of the time, too. I would hang out with these guys on the side of a mountain any day.
