| Introduction | I'm South African, but after several stop overs I currently find myself in Switzerland. Not sure if it's a severe case of itchy feet or my refusal to grow up and settle down, but for the time being it's a lovely change after the mayhem of London. The title of my blog I borrowed from a movie, but I think its rather apt as I absolutely despise being in front of the camera, hence my photo album is bursting with everything and everyone in my life but never of me. By training I am a bean counter, but find the corporate life incredibly stifling and through my yearning to find a creative outlet I picked up photography as a hobby. I live with my partner/boyfriend/better half/best friend who's love in life is fishing and as a result I have an obscene amount of fishing, fly-tying and just general rod building pictures, but if nothing else it makes me play with my camera more. |
| Interests | Photography, Food & Wine, Travel and potentially fishing |
| Favorite movies | The English Patient, The Fountain, The Professional, Damage, The Constant Gardner, Closer...there's simply too many. Suffice it to say the more tragic and the harder I cry the happier I am, |
