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!

Hello my friend ! I don't think you need a special lens to take great pictures... You already have shooted some really great images !!!! This one, like the previous of this kind, is not really deep, and so more documentary than artistic. I just have one step in the ladnscape, not more... May be it's what you are looking for... ;o)

Not boring at all! Full of "punch" of life with all the wonderful green mosses and ferns also a gentle running calm water gives a fress feel to this forest shot. Sorry for your first experience with the event shoot. I am sure you have some photo with your high standard as alaways.

This is a very special capture and the close and intimate mood that goes with it is soothing but so very full of things to sit and look at. I know what you mean about event photography. I have done it every Yuletime for the past 4 years and I have again been asked to do a business Christmas function this coming weekend and I am already stressing. I have found that the more they drink the harder it is to keep them still enough to get shits that don't have chronic blur....LOL Oh well, Like you, no drinking (at least until I'm 2/3rd of the way through it) and I'll just take as many shots as possible, hoping at least a dozen out of 300 or 500 will be good enough to present to them in their Office 2007 Events Album.

I love this mossy spot you have found as it has a wonderful feel to it. A beautiful capture and a lot different from a 21st party.

Beautiful picture. Todd

Lovely pic, it has such depth to it. Maybe try going with somone who has done some events on a jaunt with them and get some tips and ideas. it would probably still be stressful but at least you can share the load and learn. One tip I heard last nignt was to 'shoot the kids first', (he did mean with a camera folks, tempting as the alternative may be at times.)before they got tooooo bored. Jen
