Hey All

My Deviantart hasn't been updated much since.. July?
The reason is that I have been working on my final project
for my final year of this degree. I have been taking many photos for this project.

It's all kinda pretentious. But hey, that's the nature of the beast.
I am collecting photos, sounds and quotes(emails, recorded voices) and
packaging them as a book of photography and an EP of ambient 'music' of which
each track represents a chapter in the book. It's odd, murky stuff; full of found sounds.

This is the last week I have to get it ready.
Wish me luck.

Hello deviant friends.

I have my final year project coming up. I have chosen to do the self-motivated project, which pretty much means that it can be about anything. It must, however, have a basis in design (visual).

I am using my existing photography as a starting point for a project that may involve a book, ambient music, or a visual timeline/ story.


What I would like for now is from you, the people who have seen my work without knowing the people, places, contexts or stories involved, to give me some feedback.

What photo/work in my gallery is your favorite?
What does it make you feel?
What about my images resonates with you personally, if anything?
What do you think are the themes running through my images?



I know its all rather vague, self-indulgent stuff for now. But I would really appreciate some feedback. Thank you

The Pretty Blue Guns album launch is 23 July at Studio One in Pretoria (on live tv, oooh)
... But I got my copy today. Mmmm.



Front & Back of album: 'Cutting Heads'


Whew

Things are looking good. Feeling good.
The designs for the Pretty Blue Guns album are done, at the printers, and will be available as the band kick of their CUTTING HEADS tour end of this month.
It's been tough work but really good to be a part of.
The album, along with the 20 page booklet, features 15 of my photographs taken over the last few months.

I have had an amazing holiday.
I also picked up a phrase on the top of Table Mountain earlier in June that has stuck with me:

Less Facebook, more Face Time.







Here are some deviations that deserve more attention.

The universe is sooooo good.
