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!

Well I for one wasn't surprised to see your name in the list of nominees - I can't wait for the results!! Good luck, but I'm sure you don't need it! As for this shot... well, my first shock was discovering that the awful brown splodge mark right in the middle of the "white" area was actually a thumb print on my monitor - a quick rub down revealed a much more professional shot beneath LOL!!! I love the use of negative space (I think that's what they call it anyway?!) This has an almost haunting feel to it. A wonderful moody atmosphere and yes, very surreal indeed. Great shot Kai. Hugs. xx

Kai, for some reason this makes me think of eating Gelati, probably the pink timge heading off into infinity. This is an inspiring image that has a heaven-like ethereal quality. I love the way the land is floating!

Well, Thank you Elizabeth (Mansco) for directing us to this awesome gallery! This shot is Sur-real!! Fabulous, awesome, and a little .. um .. can't think of the way to say this, hmmm. makes me feel a bit unbalanced, off kilter, you know what I mean? Not having that clear horizon to relate to gives one that off center feeling. Very cool effect!!
