I guess my love for photography is really thanks to him. From when I was little, I could remember my dad taking pics with his film camera. The Polaroid camera was also always close by in the early 80's and fond memories were created and kept with his pictures. I'll feature some of these memories soon...
Shortly before he went to hospital, I was very proud to show him my blog and all the photographs I have posted on here. (He still took me to Muizenberg to take the photo of Surfer's Corner - featured in my second blog post - so he was really amazed by the end result).
He then looked at me and said to my mom, "I am going to buy a new camera and start taking photo's again". Needless to say his time ran out before he could do that, so Dad, this blog is for you - so this will be OUR blog now.
I was walking on the beach, just grasping some of the awesomeness of the sunset on Saturday afternoon. I felt almost as if my dad was there. We could always be together and not say a single word, communicating without speaking... So Dad I know you will be close te me, just like before when we didn't have to say a word.
