meanwhile in ZA

a sweet stop over to visit my africa was medicinal. welcome to my land. my family. my ocean. my home.

to uk & europe & back again

my husband and i took a trip to uk and europe. this was our first time in europe. my husband is a tattoo artist and so it was a great blessing for him to work while we traveled... it surely helped out on the splashing out part of the adventure (see richphipson / richkraft for more photos and his tattoo work). rich guested at stay classy tattoo in schiedam, luxembourg electric ave in luxembourg and the family business tattoo shop in london.  i used my contax g2 for all the shots. some of which i used positive film for (not digging that too much... my exposure skills are not very friendly to the outcome). i would like to have taken more film photos but i was overloaded with my digital camera on one shoulder (videoing) contax on other  and my trusty iphone in my back pocket and a heck of a lot of beauty and culture to absorb physically and mentally.... some day i'm gonna have to choose! we spent time with my mom, meet up with other traveling friends (husband and wife missmolly's melissa kieser and iam 's mathew kieser) reunited with old friends, made new friends and met some crazy minded humans in between... we rode bicycles in most cities,  a car from france to italy and a boat. we encountered some of the most beautiful landscapes, seascapes and monuments of the world and also enjoyed the music festival pukkelpop. we have much more to share about our trip but it's impossible to tell all so we will just stand housing memories and lessons of our earths beauty, diversity, cities and culture with room for more.  we started in...
