Sharon and I are lucky enough to have access to an amazing farm on the cliffs of Oribi Gorge. We therefore decided to stop off there for two days on route to Umngazi River Bungalows. It broke the 6 hour drive into two more manageable sections, and also meant Emma could spend some time on …
For the past year I’ve heard story after story about just how fun parkruns are, and how they’re the latest craze sweeping the globe. I’d even gone so far as to sign up for them 6 months ago but was yet to actually take part in one, despite the Shongweni parkrun being less than 5kms from …

Three years later and I found myself repeating history, creating a stop motion and time lapse video of my wife’s pregnancy and the birth of our second daughter Katie. Amazingly I seemed to learn very little from my previous attempt and found myself facing the same problems including lighting, flicker, and image alignment. And despite have …
