2011 In Review

DECEMBER{-}PERSONAL
2011. I Have experienced Love, i have experienced Pain, I have seen&felt loss in my own personal life. These are things that everyone goes through. These things have influenced,changed and strengthened me over the year, both in a good way and bad. Regardless, taking photos and documenting people never died neither did the passion for it,if anything it grew stronger.
Up until September this year i had only been Taking photos and documenting weddings part time. I was working a job i didn’t like,but grateful for having a job. September the 25th i left my Job, decided what i wanted to do and have stuck to it. Documenting weddings&people has become a full time thing for me now.I can weigh it up on scale with both exciting and nervous sides to it,but i wouldn’t change it for anything.
The following frames are some of the moments i shared with people and in Life.
THANK YOU.

“…Society for hundreds of years have been obsessed with images and how things are presented from the outside.We take a closer look by asking people from around the world a couple questions and then illustrate what they have told us.It’s like creating a VISUAL MOUTHPIECE for the people we meet.The idea was created by illustrator / designer / artist Wesley van Eeden from Durban, South Africa.The projects focus is to paint and illustrate peoples points of view from around the world.Exploring themes such as where people get their hope, what are their dreams, what would they like to change in their town and what makes them happy.It aims to encourage dialog between different people and cultures and to give the person on the street the chance to tell the world how they feel about the fundamental issues of life..”
