Photography - "Photolyric"




The song I choose is 'Unicorn Odyssey' by the Falcon. The Lyrics i choose to focus on were the following: "The last time i saw you, we split a pitcher or two at some hillbilly bar. Your heart was all shattered, your hair was all greasy and long and your eyes were all hard. I remember saying to dumb your girlfriend coz she was making both of us sick." I choose this song as my best friend (the one wearing the sun glasses) and his girlfriend had just broken up and the lyrics seemed relevant to my life at this point in time. I shot at the local pub we frequent together and used a few of our local friends from the area. We usually share a quart to keep them colder longer, so I substituted the pitcher for an ice cold quart. I placed another friends girlfriend in the typical 'lets go home im tiered' pose that so often ruins your night. I also placed the other friends in regular positions to show that even though this is happening, life goes on.

Durban Paddle Ski Club



The Duban Paddle Ski Club is the only remaining water sport club that has not signed onto the point development program and has launched a save Vetch's Beach campaign. In re-branding the club, I wished to bring a more corporate, professional look to the club, as well as a campaign aimed to raise awareness on the current issues of the development, such as the demolishion of the reef and the concreting of the sea bed.
