Tuesday last week, fellow photographer and friend, Christine Meintjes photographed me in Greenpoint and interviewed me for her blog.  It was such a cool experience being on the other side of the lens, and such a privilege to be photographed by such a talented, awesome photographer.  Christine, Jules (also a super cool photographer!) and I meet on a regular basis for girlie catch-ups and lunch.  During the afternoons spent together we catch up on life, the shoots we’ve done and swop ‘note’s’…and always have such a good laugh!  I value these times with them both so much, and get so excited when I see new blog updates from them, and see how their work is just growing and becoming more and more amazing.  They are two both incredibly wonderful photographers who are so ‘open’ to life and photography.  I really do believe that the more we give of ourselves and the more open we are to others, the more we get back.  It’s the law of the Universe.  Here are a few of Christine’s photo’s of me from the day!

My four week holiday to London and Egypt turned into a five week holiday.  I just couldn’t bring myself to leave so I extended my ticket.  I sometimes feel like i’m leading a double life – I have my family, friends and life in Cape Town, but I have the same in London.  Having spent almost sixteen years living in London since my late teens, I still have so many friends over there.  When I arrive, it’s like i’ve never been away, and I slip into life as if I belong there.  Sometimes, I still feel like I do belong there,  and wish I could live in both places.  So for now, I feel incredibly lucky to live in CT, and be able to travel and shoot in London every summer.  This time around,  I spent quality time with friends and family, and less time in front of the computer editing – hence the late blog entries!  So now, I have lots of catching up to do before the Cape Town wedding season starts!
