Night of 1000 drawings is an exhibition for charity organisation paballo, which happens once a year. This is the second year of the exhibition and we are hoping for it to be a great success. They are struggling for funding and they need as many people as possible to get together and help find it.

David Chong runs up the project and if you can help in anyway, including using your skills. Please email him on 1000drawings@gmail.com. Also visit their blog at http://1000drawings.blogspot.com/.

I will be doing a new documentary shoot with them tonight and it will be up on the blog soon.

Thanks

Have City Will Play

Shot after the Kin:be:Jozi (Anthea Moys) 'Have City Will Play' event in Newtown last weekend. The shot is of Nina Barnett dressed in Santa Clause outfit that looks like it should be on the grim reaper. Find it quiet ironic. I also think its gonna make an awesome stencil. The Second shot is of Anthea Moys after event, doing her jumping umbrella trick. The event was a great success and I have added a link on the right to kin:be:jozi so everyone can keep up to date with what they;re doing.


Another shot done at the Have City Will Play event hosted by Anthea Moys in Newtown. This was one of the games in the race where by people had to sing into cups with strings and take instructions from the person on the other end on what to do. This whole event was great fun and extremely well organised.

Europe Europe Europe

I have just returned from a 3 1/2 week trip to Europe where I got to travel through Greece, Turkey, Paris & London. I documented the whole experience and thought that the best way to tell the story would be through the images below.

The Journey began in Rhodes Island Greece where I hopped on a a traditional turkish Yacht with friends new and old from around the world and we began a week long trip along the Turkish coastline.

(The Backpackers in Rhodes, Greece)

(An interesting building in a very old place like Rhodes Greece)

(Africa in Rhodes island, Greece)

(Pegs)

(Little Lu)

(Christophe Durand cutting hair on board)

(The Captain)

(The kind of beauty taken for granted on a trip like this)

(French Yacht Aerobics)

Paris was the second leg of my journey. I spent alot of time walking through this amazing city. Paris has mass amounts of street art and a very specific persona. I have never found so much to take photo's of in such a short time.

(The Metro at night)

(Urban Gaming is huge in Paris)

(Reminded me of bank teller crime in South Africa)

(Belville Chinese flyer madness)

(The dark heart of Paris)

(Can you see the fly, 10 points if you can)

(A interesting looking character in Belville blowing his nose)

(A skater outside the Palais de Tokyo)

(A Portrait of a Rabbit in Paris)

(A cool stencil of a hoodlum next to a notice which talks all about a lawyer who screwed someone around)

(Below Montmartre you can find the prancing horse, you've got to look hard to spot it though)

I then travelled to England where I stayed in London for a week and I got to hang out with my fellow photographer and friend Jeff Barbee in Brighton, he has just finished an amazing adventure where he sailed from Cape Town to Dakar. I took some shots at a closed fun fair at night and around London.

(At night in the fair in Brighton)

(A really cool building close to where I was staying in Ladbroke grove in London)
