In Memory of a Special Friend, Artist and Photographer African Art & Textile Images for Joseph Inns. “ The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart .” — Helen Keller Bay Harbour Market - Hout Bay Harbour Cape Town On Wednesday morning (28 April 2021) Karen Donaldson and I – both friends of the late Joseph Inns , went to Hout Bay Harbour, Cape Town, along the Atlantic Seaboard, to reminisce and grieve our relationship for our very special friend. I’ve captured many images of Hout Bay Harbour before, with its picturesque fishing boats, fresh fish for sale, impressive flotilla of yachts and glorious surrounding mountains. But for Joseph, I wanted something different. For this post I selected four vibrant colour images from the Bay Harbour Market (African Art and Textiles) - for my friend that will best represent his love for Africa, Art, Colour and Simplicity. That they were all captured from the exquisite craftm...

It Was Always a Privilege Spending Time with this Gentle Giant of a Man Butterfly Image Copyright : Joseph Inns "You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your friends." – Mark Twain Yesterday, Monday, 19 April 2021, at 00.06, one of my best friends, Joseph Inns, passed away after suffering metastatic cancer for more than the last year and six months. He phoned me on Valentine’s Day 2020 in Cape Town to convey the tragic news. I cried, I’m still crying after the loss of this giant of a man. He was the most peaceful person in my life and I believe, in many people’s lives. I’ve known him for 28 years – as lecturers – as business partners – as photographers – as friends – together we dreamed of conquering our world(s) – and we did! In many ways he was my inspiration into photography. I believed in his passion, his image making and above all, his endless patience. Today I’m sad, very sad, but i...

Kalk Bay Cape Town / Simon's Town, Noordhoek Road Trip Discover African art and craft photography at the African Art & Craft Market near Boulders Beach with colourful handmade creations, textures, and cultural detail. A road trip via Kalk Bay, Simon's Town, Scarborough, Kommetjie and Noordhoek, took us to Monkey Valley (Noordhoek) for the most unforgettable lunch and sunset. One of the many highlights of the day, with an artist friend was an impromptu visit to the informal Arts & Craft Market / Souvenir Shop at Boulders Beach, Simon's Town. On this crisp Cape Town morning we sampled the rich, creative and unbelievable colours of African art (with the generosity of their creators giving us oodles of discount to purchase their craftmanship - this is actually sad as there is the obvious lack of tourism due to the global Covid Pandemic).
