<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I grew up with pictures and stories. My dad used to work as a journalist, and my mom is a talented illustrator, who made children’s books come alive for me with her beautiful drawings. They are also both very keen amateur photographers…</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The idea of doing a photo-based video came from myself and Liam Lynch collaborating on a photo exhibition dealing with the 3month period around <a href="https://business.facebook.com/Fokofpolisiekarband/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARA5TBLLZdxKpg92WODhynu3LGQfekanoD9eSpNoRltl3m8docKNz5KZozaH4YkTGDbMmL52mJaOz60B&fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARB_t7VPxsjAXGV5MkSdI7QTLlEoevpMOco2ckJIEU7flPDJK-PeQtqsE3yI050zfNDDfcwV0PpMVbyh5eN31aIPDRYxEC0vRQqoSu_d3a8-heGyK3I_AQJYYJD5Dnm85gcz3k2bArtChdX5sA1CFvIQkt-av4sRlLjQjDRI-Cir8feFmu-7zCuHjw_1XenHY5D8Y-Wb56L_Np07fKfrZkIC_nVDKyR_DASxouZsFeP-GBR_Bhw4hSbDjUex51flFzHqFgInUxSwzJ7mfGkhoEQX_8hLs7IWHfXeoGh1JaoGchGdxYTUXeSXYUvpOfxAZ-syO6_ttXMy7g">Fokofpolisiekar</a>'s recording of ‘Droom Hoog’. The band released our first full-length album in 10 years, titled Selfmedikasie, last year so the last thing fans would’ve expected was another short release so quickly afterwards. The album was written and recorded in 3 weeks as everyone involved in this band have various other musical projects and commitments.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve always been drawn to stories. Alice in wonderland has always been a favourite of mine. I used to curl with the book under the covers for many a night as a little girl. In 2002 I received my first camera as a gift and was drawn to the idea that I could continue creating and capturing visual stories through the looking glass of my camera. </p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I got my First camera at age 6, yes, i really screwed up a lot of film back then. but slowly started to figure things out. Im a self taught Photographer and learned a lot of lessons the hard way and had to fight through the frustrations of "not getting what I want" in the shots. It's a long and hard when you only have 24 or 36  frames to work with every 2 months.</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">My story with photography is one that is a bit odd in the sense that I never thought I would be a photographer when I was younger. One thing that was certain from an early age was that I always enjoyed creating and it is probably the main reason I did so well in my art classes and not really well in any other subjects… </p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">My move to Fujifilm wasn’t done on a whim and a fancy. I’ve been looking at the system for some time and actually shot a wedding with a borrowed X-T1. Unfortunately, at that stage it had too many limitations when compared to the setup I owned. Things like battery life and image quality weren’t up to scratch and a move seemed unlikely…</p>

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">When photographing my cousin’s baby shower, she asked me if I had taken the photo. I said yes and she said that was so fast. I asked her what she meant. She replied that she did not hear the click. (remember that i am deaf) I realised i had set the camera to the ES mode (electronic shutter) so the shutter is silent. I changed it back to the MS mode (Mechanical shutter)…</p>
