Nadia met Henriette in Stellenbosch, where they both studied. A few years after Henriette moved to Paris to finish her studies in fashion design. When Nadia and I was over in Paris, Henriette invited us over for a dinner at her place. Just before the sun set (around 9h30 pm!) we took a few snaps in the streets of Paris.

Apart form the serious black and white photos I took in Paris (my previous post), I also enjoyed the following colour ones.

When you walk in the streets of Paris you understand why so many pictures of Paris are in black and white. The city is such a classic and it just calls out for the basic of basics…black and white.

I met Letitia through my friend Nadia. When I saw that she was pregnant I had to use the opportunity to get a few shots in the little town of Chablis, France. I absolutely adored all the textures of the old walls and those heart shutters are just to cute! I would be able to shoot for hours in those little towns. Definitely going back one day! Anyone keen to join??

“Travel like Gandhi, with simple clothes, open eyes and an uncluttered mind” Kathrine Naido, SAA employee

Here is a little bit out of my diary from my recent trip to France and Portugal:

“Traveling opens your eyes, it challenges your perceptions and pre-conceived ideas. It changes your views on the world. And makes you ask many questions.

When you travel it stimulates your creativity. It makes you think about things beyond your every day life. It takes you out of your safe place and shows you a bigger picture of what the world is like.

To travel is to learn. It’s to learn about other people and about the world, but mostly it teaches you about yourself.

This is my last week in Dubai and then it’s back to South Africa for me. I’m quite looking forward to starting the next season of photography. But this last week I’ll just be chilling out with my mom in Dubai. The other day my mom took me to the Bastakia in Bur Dubai which is one of the city’s most picturesque heritage sites…it was around 50 degrees outside with high humidity, so these photos are just a few ones I could take before I almost fainted :)

As you know I’ve been in London for the past week…I’m leaving for Dubai tomorrow…just packed my bags and so I thought I have to post a few pics about my trip..but I’ve taken so many! And I’ve hardly had time to go trough them…so here are just 2 photos that had to go on for now, because they are typically London :) When I’m in Dubai I’ll have more time to edit, so then I’ll do a nice post with more photos…here are just 2 I really like…
