Like the heading states it's almost been 2 months since the last blog update... hangs head in shame... and I feel like I've neglected the faithful few that made their way to the blog on a regular basis with the hope of seeing a new post and ending up empty handed every time and therefore I apologise and plan to not make this a habit!!
I had a very memorable maternity session with a incredible lady called Lethabo, we had loads of fun, laughter and tears during the shoot and the end results turned out great to match!
In the same time period I also added 5 more tear sheets to my editorial collection and hope to add a few more as time goes by.... felt incredible to see my name appear at the top of every article!

... and finally to end off, Memory Lane Studios got contracted by SABC Baba Indaba to shoot all the entries for the Face of Baba Indaba at their Midrand show held at Gallagher Estate. 3 Days of shooting babies and toddlers and braving the freezing cold every morning in Midrand, but we ended up having a blast and got some incredible photos!

Mycitycuisine.org - A Traveler's Guide to Local Cuisine
I received a request recently for one of my Tomato Bredie photos on Flickr to be used on a new Wiki Project site called Mycitycuisine.org. It's a very interesting and extremely resourceful site on the multitude of dishes you might encounter while traveling abroad, definitely worth a visit whether you're traveling or not! Hopefully I get to add a few more photos to their project in future and in turn build on my own food portfolio!
Below a short description of the above mentioned site as quoted from their home page:
"What should I order?", an inevitable question faced by all travelers sitting in a restaurant, in a foreign country. MyCityCuisine is a project to create a free, reliable and up-to-date guide to the most original and tasty local foods from different countries of the world. MyCityCuisine is an open project, so we encourage everyone to contribute to it.

Christmas Lunch at al Fiume.
It's been 2 weeks since I posted a new Food & Beverage photo and my conscience started reminding me of the "every Wednesday or Thursday" promise I made, well I can use the it was the 2 weeks before Christmas and it was very busy excuse, but I wont.... ok ok so I will as I was actually really busy!
So on Christmas day my family and I went to lunch with the in-laws at a very nice restaurant called al Fiume located on the River Place estate just outside of Johannesburg. The restaurant is situated right next to the Hennops river with a large wooden deck and tables and umbrellas placed along the banks on plush green lawns creating a very calm and relaxing atmosphere.
The food was great and the presentation of the dishes was really good, although not all the dishes came to the table as per the menu and some of the staff seemed to forget things ordered, the day turned out great with some quality time spent with family on a beautiful and very hot Christmas day.
Below the three dishes that I had with a short description of each including the drink or drinks!
Insalata Di Frutti Di Marre:
Salad of Prawns, Calamari, Mussels and Scallops in a lime coriander dressing enjoyed with an ice cold Savanna Light with a fresh slice of lemon.
Filetti di Tillapia ai Pinoli:

The Good Food & Beverage Project I ~ Lamb Flank Pies
So yesterday I started my new Good Food & Beverage Project and to make things a little more interesting I set myself a little challenge inside of a challenge, I need to prepare and make all the food myself from scratch where possible, a daunting but but exciting prospect as I love cooking.... cleaning the dishes is a whole different story though!
To 'spice' things up even more I will be shooting some Stop Motion footage of the complete process, from preparing the ingredients all the way through to shooting and ultimately eating it at the end, just for the skeptics out there that think I just drove down to the nearest supermarket and bought ready made food.... yeah shame on you!
For the first dish I made Lamb Flank Pies served with Fresh Salad and Fat Bastard Chardonnay, enjoy!
The Time Lapse footage as promised!

This is the Time Lapse clip I made of the first project dish, a whole 23 seconds for 4 and half hours worth of work!
What I did learn with regard to making the next Time Lapse clip is to shorten the time between exposures to 15 seconds instead of 30 to 'smooth' out the motions and give a little more detail to the whole process, but thats how you learn!
Tune in next week for installment number 2 in the series!
