I’d forgotten what it was like to walk around all day with a camera, looking for something to shoot… It’s taking some getting used to again, but I’m quickly finding that my eye latches onto things a lot quicker than it has the last while. Now I just need to get my camera reflexes up to speed to match it.
Admittedly, Johannesburg as a city doesn’t always provide the safest space for creative wanderings… especially dangling a camera around one’s neck like a tourist. But I’m learning to seize opportunities where and when I can.
For now, I’ll be posting mostly skylines and some candids but I’m going to try and take some more street-life shots soon. And hopefully, once the studio is ready, I’ll be able to do some portrait work, product shots and maybe even something larger than that… My partner in crime tells me we should be able to do car shoots indoors once we’re done.
Sadly, this all has to take place in the few hours I have to myself away from my day job as a IT security engineer. And with the 2010 World Cup just around the corner, it’s likely I’ll be working shifts at our local telecoms’ network operations centre for the duration of the event.
