About me

Gender Male
Location Muizenberg, Western Cape, South Africa
Introduction I love a few things in life - Mostly (and first) my daughters, good food and wine (good beer too) I love animals and firmly believe every human being should have a pet. I especially feel for those under pressure from the environement, poachers or the killing of whales and dolphin species. Also - I hate the way wolves are persecuted. Photography and writing are my creative outlet. Sometimes playing guitar and drawing or painting...Being in the stillness - especially somewhere in nature where I can feel the greatness of all that is around me - is my tonic. And I love chill, garlic and coriander
