Day 110 . 10 .08.2011

21 days left until the opening and so much to do. I took a few street fashion shots for my dear friend and Fashion Editor of ELLE, Asanda Sizani last week Sunday at Cold Turkey. There were so many amazing individuals, who took pride in dressing up for the occasion.  Many of the women were camera shy; however I managed to persuade them into posing for the camera.

I was aware that they would be posted on the blog and I would receive credit for my work, but I didn’t expect the full on feature that was posted. Thank you so much to the ELLE team. You truly made my day

Day 80 . 11 .07.2011

Its day 80

I am still on the hunt for someone who can document (medium: film) the last week of this journey, and fortunately I have been meeting some great candidates. It’s easy for people to tell you that they are good at something, but it’s a totally different thing when they show you their skill. Last night (Cold Turkey) is a bit of a blur, but I do remember meeting this one guy who sounded keen on filming my vision.  

So its 51 days until the opening and more and more guest are confirming that they will be attending the opening of “The moments’ amidst the chaos.  Thank goodness they will also be a cash bar available on the night, as I was beginning to worry that I won’t have enough bottles of wine on the night and secondly those who can only drink beer and ciders will be catered for as well.

It’s Monday and time to work.  I am so lucky to be on holiday. I have time to rest from time to time. I can’t say that before, I didn’t have time for myself because this exhibition is exactly that. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you to my team and sponsors. Your help throughout this process has been amazing.

Day 17 . 09 .05.2011

Start of a new week

Its 114 days till 1^st September.  I refuse to panic until I start counting down from 100.  Yesterday was great. Nothing beats a picnic with the family or anything else in fact. Assignments are pouring in and so I am spending all my time working, and at this point in time, have absolutely no time for any exhibition admin.

As I’ve said in my previous posts, I can’t upload any images that I have taken for the exhibition, let alone mention the theme, so I can only share with you pictures I have been taking for assignments and events.

I am doing a group work Creative Development assignment at school , which requires us to find a place or area in Cape Town ( that is of walking distance) to do research on and document through words , imagery , drawing and design. Out of all my briefs for this semester, this one, so happens to be my ultimate favourite.  We decided on doing the District 6 cafe in Darling Street in the city. The building next to the cafe is an old building that is home to the inhabitants, and a place that they share with people of different generations, race and religion, but are united in their combination of happiness and suffering.

However, on a more lighter note, the District 6 Cafe hosts an event,  Cold Turkey every 2nd Sunday. So, some of my group members and I went to go check it out, observing the scene for research and of course we managed to slip in some fun there and there. Here are some images from last night.

Day 3 . 25.04.2011

It’s Day 3

I am exhausted from last night/this morning.  I only have Latoya, Lisa Robertson and Siba to blame. Cold Turkey was a jam as usual.  .It’s a Monday. The weather is terrible, so I will be spending the day in bed. As usual, the few errands must be attended too, but other than that I won’t be leaving my room.

I have assignments to do, a short and informative biography to complete and a list of a few people to call, like the printing company I use (Panascape Printing in Woodstock) owned by Robert Miller. There is so much to do, but my old friend procrastination ,seems to be getting the better of me these day's.

I deserve this. Peace
