I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

Ahhhh, love those vines. They are a fav subject of mine to. It works really well in B&W here, like a black hole sucking me down, down, down...

Artistic, yes very, I also find it quite abstract! Very original, creative shot. Great work mate!
kjpweb
Whatever it is - you transformed it into a beautiful abstract - though I can imagine the a color version of it wouldn't be too shabby either! Good idea either way!

you're right; it is very artistic ... reminds me of a curly I shot last summer and wanted to do something with it .. but never thought of going black and white like this... excellent idea... it turned out beautiful.

Very cool. black and white was a fantastic way to go on the photo. Great photo.
DJB
This looks so cool. Almost like a neon tube. It is your dark background and shades that make it so artistic. Hope you get out for some pics soon.
