This is a photograph that I made while in Cape Town at the beginning of this year. I love this mountain. I love the way she hugs the city. Table Mountain is probably one of my favorite natural features of the Cape. When I lived in South Africa, I would wake up every morning and peak out my window to see the mood of the mountain. Sometimes serene, sometimes angry, but never the same as the day before. This shot was made just a few days before we left this last trip. I always get the same sad feeling when my departure arrives. This time, I wasn't sure how long it would be before I returned. Our life is changing so quickly now that I wasn't sure that we would have the time to make it back for Christmas 2010. Well, here I am just 2 months later and already I may be on my way back to South Africa.
Life is a little bit crazy. To be honest, it is a lot crazy. As I sit here writing this post, I am surrounded by boxes of every shape and size. The inevitable has finally arrived. Charlie and I gave our 30 day notice to give up our apartment a few days ago, we are on the road again. The next few months promise to be exciting. Charlie is heading to South Africa for work and I will be in California for the next month tying up loose ends, going to a fantastic photography conference in Las Vegas, potentially doing some shooting with the Food Network and the Travel Chanel, and finally, joining Charlie in Johannesburg, South Africa. While there I will be photographing a couple weddings, and hopefully joining Charlie on his research to do a bit of documentary photography. We will conclude our adventures abroad with a wedding in the Bahamas. Then it is back to the States, final destination to be decided. I love uncertainty. There are some people that need to have a plan, everything needs to be scheduled out. I am not one of those people. Love spontaneity and a little bit of the unknown. Well, it looks like life has decided to dish out a huge portion of uncertainty.
So, if you want to book a session before I leave, I suggest you let me know as soon as possible. I do have a few spots open before I leave!
