Stepping back in time
For my 40th rotation around the sun my wife gifted me a beautiful, iconic piece of German engineering from yesteryear – the Leica M6 rangefinder. It is the start of a new personal adventure in film photography, with many digital years having passed since my early point-and-shoots. And a slight obsession with Leica having formed […]

CCTV Lockdown
Today calls for a tiny celebration. It marks the official end of South Africa’s hard lockdown… We’ve now entered into a “Stage 4” lockdown, which is much the same, except we are now awarded morning exercise hours… I helped Sentian put together a little light-hearted video showcasing some CCTV family keepsakes of the past 5 […]

Marnus convinced me to join him on his SME.Africa podcast. 4 years since our acquisition I enjoyed reminiscing over our journey and the learnings, however distant and fuzzy some parts feel. We also spoke […]

My little documentarian
I 😍 that he shares my passion for photography. I 😨 that he is holding my @leica_camera. I 🤯 that this is an auto-edit film, created by the @djiglobal app! Taken by my talented six year old ↓

The best way to predict your future is to create it
With Gutenberg being touted as the future of WordPress it’s time to give it a thorough test drive on my personal blog. For years I’ve used this space as a test bed for personal theme developments and woonderful plugin explorations. A test bed that’s laid dormant for a while… First up is installing a new […]
