I am still in London, even though in December I was told that I would be in Brazil (or the Emirates or Portugal). This unpredictability can very grating especially if you are trying to plan the next couple of months which include a wedding. However, London, in this sense is a great halfway house to … Continue reading »

Photo of the Week: Shadows of Brighton Sunset
Last weekend’s trip to Brighton made for some great photos and even though the sunset doesn’t come close to matching an African one, the shadows it created were brilliant. My favourite was the following of some skateboarders doing some tricks.
Give a young prince some money and this is what he builds – Brighton’s Royal Pavilion
Like I said in the previous post about Brighton, I really didn’t know much about the city apart from its pier and the fact it was the place for attempted assassination of then Prime Minister Margret Thatcher. So I decided to download an iPhone guide app for Brighton. It was while looking through this app … Continue reading »
Piering into the English seaside city of Brighton
Years ago I was looking through old photo albums and stumbled upon a photo of my mom by a pebble beach in the UK. I was curious as I had not seen pebble beaches before and asked my mom about it. Her response was “That was in Brighton! I used to love Brighton beach!” For … Continue reading »
Lucky February the 17th: The time a missing passport meant I missed the Libyan Revolution
Life is completely unpredictable. A year ago today I was on flight out of Tripoli, not knowing that it would be the last time I would be taking that route out of what had been my home for over a year. However, what followed that day proved that sometimes the worst change of plans can … Continue reading »

The photo below is a great example of using advertising to fill a gap. It looks brilliant and fills in a piece … Continue reading »

A couple of days ago, my brother and I went out for a walk with our cameras. It wasn’t the best day to do this as London (as like most of Europe) is currently going through a bit of a cold wave, however the dusky evening made for excellent photo taking. This one is of … Continue reading »
The snow that brings London to a standstill
For anyone from Africa, snow usually is some mystical thing we only ever see in movies and Alaskan wildlife documentaries and not something we ever think we will experience. That is until we move from South Africa to London. Our winters are spent excitingly looking at BBC Weather to catch a wiff of possible snow. Then … Continue reading »
Just another month in London
Since coming back from Norway, I’ve been in London with Raquel enjoying the time off and awaiting news of when I’m to go to Brazil, or where ever the company training I will be doing is suppose to be held. I can’t really complain as it means I get to spend more time than I … Continue reading »
