Last year I moved out of home for the first time. I was lucky enough to land in the beautiful suburb of Oranjezicht - which is the perfect combination of the leafy suburb life i was used to and the cool towny life i was looking for. But one of my favourite parts of living in Oranjezicht is the beautiful homes that can be found on every block. I took a stroll around the neighbourhood and captured my favourite facades, gates and gables. View Article

I love university campuses! I attended a relatively small advertising school, so big campuses always spark my imagination in a way that is untainted by actually ever having to sit in a lecture hall with thousands of other students. So you can imagine my excitement when i found myself on UCT upper campus on OPEN DAY! Not only did i get to pretend to be a potential archaeology student while browsing the science hall, but I also got to spot some really great campus style. Check these kids out! View Article
The artists Donald Baechler and Wes Lang have maintained a dialogue for many years built on mutual curiosity, respect and even mild competition.
