Before photography became work, it was another language to acquire, a second tongue; part heart-muscle with a cortex. 
It's easy to forget why we love doing the things we do when it phases into workaday tasks.
The colours and textures of this pineapple excited me, and forgive me if this is starting to sound like a LinkedIn post, but I was reminded of the first joys I found in photography.

I'd have never known that garlic could present as charismatically as it tasted, had I not seen these interesting-looking stems at a local Woolworths (the gaps in my food knowledge are sweeping). The scapes are edible, mildly alliaceous, and are often served roasted, stir-fried or as a pesto.

[This, with ice cream, fed three adults. If I were a LinkedIn life coach, I'd write a whole parable from this.]

These sorbet popsicles are the latest addition to the  @fehmzmocktails range of flavour experiences. I did the photography for the packaging and had the tasty honour of getting to eat my way through boxes of sorbet before most of everyone else 😀

One morning in Rietvallei

One morning in Rietvallei

Where the streets have no names…
through a portal of mattress-springs (…here be dreams)

skip around the arrogance of cauliflowers…
and the colours will not be still…
stuff your fists into your ears.
It is now that you must hear through your eyes.—

(Elliot Mlalazi’s nursery in Rietvallei ext1, West Rand, Johannesburg)
