Who is going to contribute to the "Eight" theme tomorrow? No ideas here yet but will try to keep it in mind. And "Shadow" on Sunday.

Done and dusted!

I do love myK-01, well I have a yellow (bumble bee), blue (smurf) and two black.
Now I can weaken for a white or silver =)

no K-01 for me - I need the OVF and spend a lot of time shooting in broad daylight...

Well, mine is black, so that's no use...

Done my eight themed picture, little bit of a cop out but it's done, will add it to the group when I'm back at the PC.
With all this talk of new camera gear, would just like to say that seeing the results from the Ricoh GR has made me kind of want one, the idea of a pocketable 'proper' camera appeals to me greatly.

Fortunately, one of my shots today had 8 of something in it. I'll try to remember tomorrow's theme while I am at the final day of the butterfly house at the botanical garden. In about six weeks it will be lit up with 1000's of lights for the holidays, I love visiting it.

Noel's "Shosholoza" (the train moving forward) yesterday sent my thoughts to a song that has ended every weekly rehersal in our little group for years. The version preformed by the Drakensberg Boys' Choir is a bit different, but the song is the same

TFS, but where's the recording of your little group?

What a coincidence, last month my wife and I attended a performance of "Shosholoza" by a group from Zimbabwe, what a great performance that was.

For those of you who might not get around to visiting my daily share, where I also shared this info, I'm posting it here too, due to it's strong subliminal connection to this group.

I had a vivid dream last night and was sadly dissappointed when i woke up. In the dream I was on a photo walk by the beach and there were fancy houses and I came across a back yard with a large raised deck. i walked around then looked up at the deck where a giant gorilla was throwing a chimpanzee really high in the air and it was spinning really fast in the air. i was getting such great shots and was so excited to have this as my shot for the day to share with the group.

The next house over was a nice family having a party in the back yard by a pool. they had a giant pet spider about the size of a shaggy dog. in fact it looked more like a shaggy dog than a spider but it was scary the way it moved like a spider. but everyone assured me it was friendly. i started taking pictures of it trying to get low pov's then noticed they had somehow fastened a camera lens to its face so it could see people through it. it was hard to get a shot of it though because it kept making sudden moves toward me...

So yeah, i knew i was definitely going to go with the gorilla/chimpanzee shots for the daily share, at least until i woke up.... Selah.

I wonder if I've been eating too much dark chocolate lately...

Certainly got something in your system. Some red wine might be needed to re-establish equilbrium .....

Hah. I have participated on a couple of recordings, but have been spared from that with our little group

Nice! I think it's on the repertoir of most traditional choirs in Southern Africa - with good reason

I found a recording with the guys we learnt the song from, too, Cenestra Male Choir from Johannesburg. A wonderful bunch, they really know how to throw a party!
