If you read anything about the controversy surrounding the iconic "Napalm Girl" photo, it should be this article by David Friend for @vanityfair.com

It has to turn somewhere in the front right? Some more Tankwa Karoo #photography

It might not look too tough but the top of Ouberg Pass, a two track pass where a 4x4 is mandatory was enhanced by the fact that we had lost a tire an hour before, was late for our booking and had no cell signal. More images from the Tankwa. #photography

It is amazing to me that somewhere in the past this used to grazing ground. The Tankwa Karoo is a harsh place. #photography

In photography, size really does matter…. When it comes to printing anyway. A print of this Tankwa Karoo road currently hangs in my living room while it waits to go to its final destination and in A1 size it really pops. Looking at photos on a phone just doesn’t compare. #photograph

I tried vatious angles on this image but it just didn’t work out properly. Everone has images that they wish they cpuld redo. Also it is difficult to believe that this was a place of some green life with a little bit of water a few dacades ago. Still from the Tankwa Karoo #photography

A wet road. An oddity in the Tankwa for sure.

At the start of the Tankwa and at the bottom of Katbakkies Pass (translates to Cat Face Pass) you can find one of the oddest diners in the world where this car is one of their odd collection of… things . Not far from to this car is a stranded flying saucer. It is a must stop.

A small mount in the Tankwa Karoo. This photo and my other Tankwa photos cost me an expensive tire as the rock on the road cut open the sidewall. I went up a difficult 4x4 pass with no spare. The wife was not happy.

This South Africa team is like Aqua's 1997 album Aquarium. No weaknesses. #rugby #WALvRSA

Its still one of my dreams to go watch a bok game in Wales just to hear the anthems. I have heard the anthem at Murrayfield but Krige and Streauli spoiled that experience for me in 2002. Btw. Used to hum the anthems to my girls at sleeptime when they were babies. #WALvRSA

I will start posting more landscape images that I take but I shot this beauty earlier this week of Jen coming off the face of a slab and had to post it. #bodyboarding #strandbodyboardcollective

The US anthem has broken my netflix… kinda symbolic of the world at this moment.

Taylor v Serrano was a great fight but the drawn out nonsense at the fighters entrance was so stupid. Its usually long but a more than 10 minute wait for Serrano in the ring is garbage. Also, her eyebrow is a mess…

Fuck. Heard today that a close friend ended her own life last weekend. Spoke a couple of weeks ago and there was no sign of anything. Had a history or depression but it all looked good for her. Remember. Mind the people around you. You are never sure what people are going through. GNU Irene.
