Birthday Tweet-up

February 21, 2010

Today was the “High Tea with the Queen” Tweet-up at Irene Country Lodge.  There were a few cancellations, but those of us who were there had a fabulous time well into the afternoon.

Thank you so much to @AngelsMind, @glugster, @louisabouwer, @pinkhairgirl and @jenty for making the effort.  It was wonderful having you all there.  It was the first time I’d met @louisabouwer and her gorgeous baby girl.  @AngelsMind brought along my birthday cupcakes, which were absolutely divine as always and thoroughly enjoyed by all.  @jenty had a newborn shoot in the morning but still made the effort, for which I am very grateful.

The kids all had a wonderful time running around and feeding the swan and geese. Here are a few pics from our morning

It has been a while since my last blog post.  So much has been happening and I’ve been struggling just to keep up.  I will keep you updated as I go.  But for now let me backtrack.

On the 30th January 2010 I photographed my cousins wedding in Cape Town.  I cannot share any photos of that event with you yet as she requested that I post nothing to the web without prior approval from her.

What I can share with you are photographs of my Tweet up and of @acidicice’s maternity shoot.  There are quite a few photographs that I will share and so I will divide it up into 2 separate posts.

So for now here are some photographs of HRH @queenofcomplex having dinner with “her subjects” in Cape Town.  I must tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed meeting each and every one of you.  You are even more awesome IRL and I’m so honoured that you made the effort to come out and meet me.  From the bottom of my heart I’d like to say THANK YOU for your time, your kindness and caring.  You are an incredibly special bunch of people and I’m extremely pleased I joined Twitter and met all of you.

Oh and I’m really sorry that I have to mention this – but since I tout myself as a photographer I cannot have sub standard work on this blog and take credit for it.  I allowed @andrevr to use my camera (Canon) to take photographs of me with all the great Cape Town folk.  Sadly it appears that his excellent knowledge of Nikon did not prepare him for the complex and superior workings of Canon – hence the blur and “extra ambiance” in some of the shots.  “Jammer Koosie, maar dié taak het jy gepluk”.  But in all fairness, let me point you to his most awesome and incredible work as a landscape photographer. I learnt bucket loads from him regarding landscape photography and am truly honoured to have worked with “the master”.

You can see the rest of the photographs from the tweet up here on my flickr stream.
