What is left behind?! Or is it?

A recent trip to Retro Rabbit in Pierneef street, Pretoria proved to be quite the eye catcher. Here my impressions.

This series "What is left behind?! Or is it?" was inspired by a rather sad event, the passing of my grandmother. She left behind a fully functioning household with loads of crockery and goodies and things. The overwhelming task of sorting through the items and finding a new home for them or bluntly put just throwing some of them away is exhausting. I guess this shoot helped me to see the matter in a more positive light, to find beauty rather than sadness in things that once belonged to someone else. 

The idea is that some things are never left behind, they might only change hands or minds.

 

Over-share

I'm scared, scared to write something again because it was so long ago. It's like I see this entry window where I am writing this in for the first time and it feels strange, but I can't decide who is the stranger of us two.

In the last couple of weeks I had some great and some pretty studpid ideas and thoughts and will try to give a quick run down of some of them here:

Before I start, I must say I was a little reluctant to post my ideas in such a free giving manner where everyone has access to them, and I still think it's a little silly, but I realised that today I want to inspire people and give them ideas for their own ideas.

 

Please understand that all ideas and rough drawings above are my personal work (and thus fall under my copyright) and the concepts depicted will be completed by photographing them as part of an exhibition series.  

What I'm saying is please don't steal, be inspired!!!
