I am a writer and photographer (look up my work on www.shootcake.com) based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have an MA in Creative Writing from the university currently known as Rhodes. My writing accolades include winning the 2014 Writivism Short Story Prize and the 2020 Ingrid Jonker Poetry Prize for my debut collection, Zikr.
[…] father and so many dear friends. It’s that as I get older, I crave the pure silence of the canyons and the wadis where the stillness is so thick and encompassing, one is able to hear all of time […]
I have to say…you are one talented photographer…these places seem to come to life in these photographs! The Grand Canyon looks stunning (I have set it as my wallpaper – if you don’t mind?) 😛
Just curiously, did you travel the US in one trip? And you really should consider submitting your photographs (or should I say ‘works of art’) to a magazine! =)
🙂 I’m happy to be able to share that moment with you. The Grand Canyon is one of the few places I’ve visited where the silence is deep enough to hear yourself.
We traveled to the US at the end of 2012 and tried to pack in as much as we could. It’s taken me far too long to process and post all the photos. There’ll be three more updates in the coming weeks.
