If anybody wishes to get the original of the photos you are in, please drop me an email at 99thbone[at]gmail[dot]com – apologies for way the email is displayed – but i’m wary of getting spam — anyway please enjoy the photos & the theme for the day was ‘The Games People Play’ – so expect many cards –

had to get one group photo in – before we started

 - pearly – jugga – ashwin – shyam

have to still practice those on the hip shots – i kind of enjoyed this frame

these ladies were performing outside one of the coporate tents – called the ‘House of Clubs’

on their head was a horse so they were beautifully prancing along the way

played a bit with the levels and colour – just another photographer

people from all forms of media were around – capturing whatever they could for the day – the police
were not far behind keeping us ‘safe’

ahswin getting his first bet in for the day – early – and i think he won some as well

pearly – shyam & jugga – discussing the pool bets and trying to get the stats for the horses

the scoreboard – we sit just below it – close to everything and – like the cross process feel the colours gave

like i metioned above – cards – beauty in the most interesting of forms

quite an array of colours in everything –

pearly striking that pose as well

some ladies just rest their feet – so i just had to capture the frame

took a stroll around – too many people – so the images are mostly from the hip – some
in frame some blurred

red was the most striking colour – simple – passionate

she was posing for someone else – so i captured the moment – in a different way

she is – beautiful – probably the best looking designer i have seen so far – btw –
i wish to know your name – just that – email me

the above designer – her designs – an imagination is never limited

red – and passionate – beauty forever admired

you can see the implementing of cards in the whole idea – if you look
in the background on the left – you’ll notice 2 girls dressed as cards as well

some simple lines – but always accentuating the female form

her designer -

an african look is never far off – with raw passion

cuts that are left to your imagination

their designer – always looking to get the word out there

candy – she’s a presenter on ‘Flash’ a local magazine styled programme
showing off the hottest celebs and happenings around SA – beautiful as always
she was suprised when I had asked to take her photo – it was worth it – a smile
forever admired –

please forgive me for not knowing her name – another celebrity roaming around
like mentioned before beautiful – sexy ladies everywhere

these friends were just relaxing – taking each race as it came around

that’s me – i mentioned that this time – i got into a few photos – these ladies were promoting
the Blackberry phone – capturing images all over the place and putting them on the blackberry
site – which reminds me – i think i’m there

closer to the stage – waiting their turn to parade their dresses

the chess board was quite a unique idea – and such a cut lady – who
could not resist liking her

apologies – her eyes closed at the worng time –

but i asked for another and she agreed – thank you

always something out there that captures the imagination – and pushes
the limits

other people capturing the beauty around
