University of Stellenbosch Choir Ball | Formal @ L’Avenir

I had an awesome time photographing the US (University of Stellebosch) Choir formal this past Friday at the beautiful L’Avenir just outside Stellenbosch along the R44.  In July of this year the US Choir made headlines at the Wolrd Choir Games in China. Here is a snippet from the choir’s site:

“the US Choir took part in the 6th World Choir Games in China and won the categories Contemporary Music as well as Mixed Choirs. The choir won the latter category with 95.75% – 8% more than the choir who came second and with the highest percentage of the whole competition.”

Makes you proud to me a Matie :) Getting back to photos..here is 50+ for you to look at. Will post them to my facebook page in a day or two. Hope you like them!

die matt black sessions: bob en sop

Ek dink hierdie is my eerste “potgooi” in afrikaans, ek is trots daarop. Ek is ‘n groot aanhanger van die Bob’s, soos Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson van the Band ens. So natuurlik was Bilton Wines se Matt Black Sessions net die plek om te wees. Die tema vir die aand: Bob en Sop met “covers” van die legendes se tunes, lekker en uniek!. Lees meer hieronder, vanuit die pers verklaring:

Bilton Wine Estate bied aan: MATT BLACK SESSIONS  (click here to go to Bilton Wines)

Ter viering van Bilton se “Matt Black” Bordeaux-versnit, ‘n splinternuwe reeks musiek-en-kuieraande! Maandelikse sessions bied vir Stellenbossers en die Helderbergstreek ‘n splinternuwe musiekervaring, weg van die gewone cliché-vertonings wat die kalender volpak. Elke Matt Black Session is uniek, interaktief en outentiek. Spotgoedkoop en met uitstekende plaaslike kunstenaars, kunsuitstallings, temas vir aantrek, lekker kosse, wynproe, koffie en veel meer, is hierdie een partytjie in ‘n maand wat jy nie kan misloop nie!

Agter die mikrofoon is ‘n rits musikante, solo of saam-saam, uit die geledere van New Holland, Zinkplaat, Peter Mitchell, Ryno Velvet, Basson Laubscher & The Violent Free Peace, Johannine & The Rivers, Simon Swerwer, Willim Welsyn, President Sally, Joelevite en selfs nog ‘n paar.

Hul opdrag: speel enige liedjies van enige Bob (Marley, Dylan, Seger, Johnson, Geldoff, noem maar op). Die gehoor trek aan as hul gunsteling Bob (bv. Bob Mugabe, Bob the Builder, ens.). Daar sal ook ‘n uitstalling wees van kunswerke, plakkate en dies meer in dieselfde tema.

hier is van my gunsteling fotos van hierdie aand:

die eerste een my algehele gunsteling – laat my dink aan mnr. Dylan homself.

Inge’s 21st at Skilpadvlei

I’ve known Inge from high school and a few month back she asked me to photograph her “delayed” 21st party, here are some of the photos of the night.

Inge’s brother, Johan, works in Bloemfontein for the Volksblad – so she doesn’t see him very often.
