Born in the Transkei, bought up in Durban and spending 12 years in board shorts, breezing his way through high school, living for the endless summer and perfect waves, not a care in the world as long as those existed at the end of his week, to an obsessed photographer chasing an unexplainable passion and the creative process that is photography.

An eight year, love hate mind entwined curse that has pushed him to the brink of madness in the pursuit of artistic fulfillment, not a moment more in his beloved board shorts has existed.

Every constant moment, thought and action has been spent trying to evolve the way he looks at the world around him, in the pursuit of some weird self gratification captured through the lens. He still does not get himself to be honest. It has all been about that perfect shot, never looking back for it distracts from the now but constantly moving forward because enough never seems to be enough. That is where he is still moving to now, where be it exactly? He will let us know if he ever finds it. Eight years, residence in 4 cities and commercial work that stretches across the globe and still no satisfaction.

Make no mistake he still loves what he does (go figure) would not change it for the world. It has taken him place he never imagined and allowed him to meet people not everybody gets to meet.

He has come home to African summers that constantly rekindle the freedom of his youth, a little bit of sanity amongst the madness.
