Journalism 4 - Honours

About to walk downstairs and hand over my life to the judgement of the Journ department's finest lecturers....
Let's hope I make it through to the greatness of JMS 4! :)

Keeping fingers crossed ;)

Nieu-Bethesda

I went to Nieu-Bethesda in April this year for our PhotoJourn class field trip.
We went there because even though it's a small village (it has about 10 streets only!), it's a really artistic/creative vibe... so there are a lot of very random things that make interesting photographs!

Here are my favourite 5 pics and link to the full album on Facebook :)

A Police van stops outside Thandi Mali, Pienaarsig Township, Nieu Bethesda



A Helen Martin cement statue, The Owl House, Nieu Bethesda

The Dutch Reformed Church, Church Street, Church Square, Graaff-Reinet

The Valley of Desolation, Cambedoo National Park

PhotoJournalism 3

I have been extremely busy this year... Haven't ever worked so hard before in my life ;)
But I will soon be posting all of my favourite photographs from my year as a Photojournalism student in 2010.
Exciting times :)

Ciao, Gezzie. x

Happy vibes! :)

Well well it has been quite a while... apologies for that absence!
This post is written in the spirit of 2010 because it seems to be everywhere, filling everyone with such positive attitudes which is really really great! :)

Some reasons why i completely love my life right now"
1) I got to spend December catching up with a great friend who's currently working/studying in UK but came home for a visit and man did we have some good times!:)
2) I spent Christmas with my dad's side of the family, which was super cool because we hardly ever do that! It was so cool hanging out with my cousins, enjoying awesome sunsets and being bad influences on our parents and grandmothers ;) [Plus we got to see some great S.A bands at the Knysna rocks fest, thanks to Prime Circle, Just Jinjer, Evolver and Flash Republic for some sick jams!]
3) I passed my second year of varsity with good marks, got accepted into Photojournalism as my specialisation and am officially half way through the biggest part of my degree.
4) Because of my acceptance into Photojourn I was fortunate enough to be spoiled with a brrand new DSLR camera for Christmas and have been snappin away continuously since then... flip I am SO stoked to be majoring in photography and I can't wait to learn all the tricks of the trade and start creating my own ;)
5) Of course being 2010 in S.A is a whole other level of excitement... I can tell the whole country is waiting for June/July, waiting for our chance to shine in the FIFA World Cup!
6) I'm moving into digs at Rhodes this year... which means more freedom, delicious food and way more time to do things my way!!! Can't wait

K well that's all I got for now but I'm sure I'll have a tonne more later on!!!

Here's to making this a year never to forget! :)

Ciao, Gezzie!
