Durban July 2009_2
The Vodacom Durban July has come and gone – quite quick i might add – but at least I have some memories – this time round I managed to capture some really beautiful ladies -&- some good photos with the friends – and please understand that I know I’m late again in posting this entry – but somethings arose at the last minute
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
a designer always gets left out of the moments – i prefer that they are in them
always a smile
simple is striking in the most interesting of ways
she was someting else – so i enjoyed giving this frame a little extra in colour
the judges – on the left – is out current Ms South Africa – Tatum – never could get a photo of her
just friends – always accepting of allowing me to capture a moment
the horses parade – just out of the stables before they come on the track
they posed – something different os always admired
always leave the imagination wondering
these ladies fashioned their outfits out of plastic – unique
draped and admired
