I’ve been neglecting you my friends, and I’m sorry, sometimes the creative juices just don’t flow beyond my own four walls and I don’t want to keep boring you with near identical pictures of my kids as cute as they may be to me I’m sure that despite my bias to the world at large they are just kids with foppish hair and silly grins.
This weeks theme was portraits and my initial intention was to do some portraits of Mrs Bunny Chow’s cousin the very talented rapper Twig who we had a braai (barbecue) with on Saturday, I really did have good intentions, I got my camera out, I snapped some pictures of the kids in the garden, we talked about lenses and aperture and geeky stuff and then the sun got to me and reminded me that I was unfairly hung over (it was unfair I honestly didn’t have that much to drink the night before and can normally get away with plenty more, sometimes hangovers are just like that) and all good intentions went out the window with nothing useable captured.
Hmmmm well with that one out of the window I was left with either begging Mrs Bunny Chow to pose for me (slim chance of that happening) or utilising my amazing Mother who thankfully flew in to attend the Alzheimer University a fantastic course designed to help Alzheimer’s Societies from around the world. She’s very honoured to be representing the Zimbabwean Alzheimer’s Association and I’m very proud to be her son as she continues to give of her time to this wonderful organisation.
Still we’re here to talk about photography and pictures so here is my chosen portrait of my mother.
I know it’s becoming a bit of a cliché at the moment but I’ve given a light retro twist to the edit.
I may have to get creative again next week as the suggested theme is sunsets (yes I know they happen every day) and I’m not sure if or when I’ll have the opportunity to capture a new one as currently sunset falls smack in the middle of bed and bathtime and I don’t want to reach back in to the archives for an older picture to share in this series.
I hope that you’ve all had a great week and I promise that I’ll be making more time for you in the coming weeks.
TTFN

The life and photography of Mr Bunny Chow 
It’s good that you neglected us, because that means that your mom got to spend more time with you. 😉 I admire people that work with Alzheimer’s patients, I would never be able to do that since I have very little patience.
I’ve certainly not inherited her patience
Alzheimer’s Societies do wonderful work Mr. Bunny Chow and your mother is to be commended for giving her time to a very worthwhile cause.
