Guernsey 2023: Around the coast charity ride

Traveling through Stellenbosch when driving to Cape Town. We stopped for lunch at this vineyard and winery. Whilst my travel companions sampled the wares, I went for a little wander. I don't know if I was really allowed to poke my nose in the places I did, but it was fascinating to see all the machinery used to produce the wines.

Recovery from an elbow operation has left me rusty. Both photography-wise and physically & mentally, with a series of panic attacks. I popped down to this event to try and ease myself back in. The photos aren't great, and I could feel the panic rising every second I was there. But, I held it together and it's an important step forward.

A true learning experience. My first time shooting RAW and my first time plucking up the courage to shoot street. This is a selection of images that convey the overwhelming assault on the senses I felt entering the Marrakech Souks

A world away from the vineyards, safaris and huge shopping malls in Cape Town Wharf, Langa is a township where the Apartheid government sought to control Black South Africans, yet the people forged a tight-knit community that resisted and persevered. Today it’s a vibrant place that educates visitors on its history and suffering through the heritage museum, and welcomes you to explore the Arts & Culture Centre, as well as walking streets full of play, small businesses, and food stalls serving the community.

Whilst recovering from an elbow operation, I got sucked into watching a bunch of photographers on Youtube. All of whom shot Analogue. I bought myself a Pentax 17 - a brand new half-frame camera and I'd take it with me to Phyisotherapy, walking into Town and taking the bud home after. Shot between September and October, this is the first roll from the Pentax, and my first 35mm roll since 1999!
