time to rant and rave ok more ranting then raving

so it easter friday and I'm not in the holiday spirit well im not very religious so maybe thats the reason but anyway its friday afternoon and I've spent all day lazing around watching tv. Wow yeah I know so exciting so I've been watching my fav shows thanks to the pvr which records the shows so you can watch it when you want, and I watched 90210 the best series at the moment american idol and my all time fav show sex and the city. It got me thinking about the way the character in 90210 Silver has a blog and Carrie is a writer each have such interesting things to say so it inspired me to write. I thought I should add more personal things to the blog seeing that it is a representation of my life thoughts feelings all that stuff. I tried the whole day to get hold of my bf but the phone just rings. We are very close and we usaully see each other every day so after 3 days of not seeing him I have started to wonder whats going on?

Cricket Time

Went to go watch the proteas verses those Australians in a ODI. It was very interesting a completely different vibe to a rugby game. It wasn't the most exciting game because it wasn't very close but in the end SA played really well taking them to 2-1 lead in the ODI stacks. It was great to see the game live but it so different live than on tv there is so much things you don't see on tv. I loved it though a great day out actual a nice event to go with the family as always my brother and I were making our own commentary it was classic.

Being a student on holiday???

So I moved from a university to City Varsity this year and I'm studying a 2 year photography course loving it so we on holiday at the moment and we have a project we have to look at texture and portray things around our house in a different way so I'm gonna put up a few images that I experimented with around the house.

The line up part 2

Nik Rabinowitz

This guy is new on the comic scene, being a Jewish Xhosa-speaking comedian was one of my favourites, he was recently named the 2008 Stand Up Comedian of the Year at the SA Comedy Awards and defiantly deserves the awards .

Martin Jonas

did a great joke where he made the whole audience stand and took a photo of use to show is mama that he is still getting standing ovations just classic very interesting,

BUT ONE OF MY OTHER FAVS he stole the show

David Kau
He even went over time talking true south African politics but with some real insight and making fun of every race to black white coloured. A brilliant way to finish an amazing night full of non stop laughter

The Line Up

Ryan O' Connor

The KFM dj who started everything off who isn't acyually a professional comic himself but man if you listen to his show you will know all about his different voices and charcters he portrays. His skit was actually really great a whole northern suburbs verses southern suburbs.

The host the real prankster: Darren Simpson aka Whackhead

He was a great host really brillant loved the tampon joke really really funny

Chris Forrest

The black glasses and dry one liner styled comedy something very different but really great Not the most sexiest guy there but he defiantly uses that in his act !

Stewart Taylor

The really funny Cape Town based comic based his act on teaching men well specially married men how to act to make sure they stay out of trouble with their wives.

The comedy Jam

I attended the comedy jam at Grandwest Cape Town South Africa..... and boy was it a night full of laughter defintely one of the funniest nights of my life. It made me realise that there is some really funny comics from SA and all men but each was different with a interesting way to comment on everyting from marriage to race to politics especially the big names like Zuma, Mbeki and of course Mugabe.

Some of my favourite photos

This series of work is called After Dark in Surburbia

These are a few of the shots I shot when I was studying at uct in my second year I love these photos. We were given a project that concentrated on night shooting and troubled spaces so I chose the dam near my house and asked my brother and cousins to pose for me. I loved their youth and the way they look like they are looking for trouble I wanted it to look like they where smoking and maybe doing things like rebelling against their parents wishes. I shot these on film and developed it myself and scanned the film and use photoshop to change them.
