GUEST BLOGGER: 'LONELINESS'

My good friend is a really amazing writer. She wrote a piece and e-mailed it to me (because that's what writer friends do). I loved it so much that I basically forced her to publish it. Because it's so personal, she doesn't want to her name to appear. It's an honest, vulnerable piece that speaks to all of us in those quiet, lonely moments.

Thank you, my friend, for having the guts to write this (even though no one else will know).

I added a photo I took for our shared love of airports.

I love that you know how cathartic writing can be.

Much love to you.

HELLO, JEMIMA KIRKE!

Jemima is best known for her role on the HBO show "Girls" by Lena Dunham. She's a mother, actress and artist. I just love her extraaaa-ordinary sense of style. 

MY LATEST ARTICLE FOR DENIZEN

I wrote a new piece for Denizen on my experience of returning to my home town. Denizen is such a cool website, uniting all global nomads and third culture kids, giving them a platform to speak.

And...

STUCK IN TRAFFIC

Sometimes it's useful having a phone with a camera, no matter how crappy it is, and being stuck in traffic. 

Oh right, yeah, this is just Cape Town showing off pastel blues.

It does that occasionally.

A MONTH ON FILM

My brother sourced the camera that I first started taking photos with in order to re-kindle my love for photography. He found the beautiful Minolta x700, which my dad used to keep in a silver case at the bottom of his bookshelf, on eBay in a good condition. 

The camera is heavy enough to sit comfortably in my hands, and it's light enough to lug around in my handbag. When I spy through the 50mm lens, the colours appear magical. 

I'm still getting used to the camera but here are some of my attempts. It appears that my love for taking pictures is sticking around like a rumble in the jungle. 

WHO ARE THE JESUS FREAKS?

Many of my English friends have asked me what on earth Freakstock and the Jesus Freaks, which I keep talking about, is all about.

Let me explain the:
what,
where
and who.

THANK YOU GOOGLE

I was perusing the internet (as one does on windy, cold nights!) and found this guy and his rad, little illustrations. They are so sweet and honest, exposing inner dialogues with such softness.

Also, he's got budding illustration skills.
