Never a moment too late.

A collab with a one of a kind friend that I’ve met over Instagram, @shyjumathew. Recently he was in Malaysia and he let me edit one of his shots from his amazing time there! This shot is just one of many which you can see in his gallery! :) @shyjumathew and I have had some great chats about life, love and everything else. Someone who I was glad to meet through Instagram and one of those that I’d love to one day meet in real life!

Editing this beautiful shot of @shyjumathew and his daughter made me think about moments we have in life, every single one of us treasure significant memories in our lives that we remember. Each is unique to a perfect culmination of various circumstances, coincidences and events to create a perfect incident of awesome experience… The most amazing thing is that when something is perfect enough to create a moment, it becomes unforgettable. When we live in a world where everyone is trying to get back lost time, never forget that it’s the moments that make up life’s worth. Go make some moments today. (at collab vibes)

A simple sunset.

Featuring legend and friend @miklasmanneke! You should check him out.

In a few days I’ll be leaving to climb Mount Kilimanjaro as part of an initiative to feed 3000 African kids for a year, you can read up more about it in my previous post or go to www.conquerkili.com.

Toward the build up of the climb I’ve realized that things happen as they should, sometimes we try too hard to control the unfolding moments of our lives. But I’ve realized that even though planning is good and we should project our lives into our future, we must also enjoy every single moment and be cautious that we don’t miss the now, because we are hoping too much for the future… Because at the end of the day, moments make up experiences and I would much rather be someone who has a life full of experience, rather than anxious hopes for the future.

Starting a new story, every day. One person at a time

Collab with legendary 16x9 master @p_d_y, his shot and my edit! I am amazed at how many film makers I am meeting on IG! I’ve had some inspiring chats with @p_d_y and our common creative exploration has helped me keep my dreams alive. Be sure to check out his true talent and his amazing take on Amsterdam, you won’t be disappointed and also take a look to also see what he did with one of my images.

And now for a caption!

The first time you meet someone, there’s this little phenomena that happens called a “first impression.” Good, bad or neutral those first impressions generally tend to take their time to build up towards a friendship. Generally I try to avoid developing first impressions about people, instead I prefer to see things as an unwritten tale, I’d rather write a story that is told through growing a friendship through interaction and experience. That way it’s more fun, people are given a “chance,” you discover true character and almost allow people to be who they are around you. And in reality, first impressions then come last… (at collab)

Stand tall featuring @btherad and some random walker.

No caption today guys 😞 I’ve been SUPER busy catching up and preparing to climb Kilimanjaro from the 17-25 of this month! If you’d like to read more about it check out www.conquerkili.com (at Newtown)

Just some rooftopping

I’m trying out the new #vscocam and I’ll be honest I’m hooked. I never used the previous version much, but love the new interface and design. Good job @vsco (at Newtown)

Round two collab with amazingly awesome IGer @goldie_berlin my privilege to edit one of her shots!

Sometimes I go to bed wishing I’ll somehow teleport to another country. Meet a few people, go gramming with them and then wake up in the morning ready to post all the awesome shots from the dream trip! But until teleportation becomes a reality. One can only hope to value those virtual relationships that exist via a double tapping social media app.

What happens when an instagramer gets hold of some new @puma kicks! Something a bit strange, magical and maybe supernatural, big thanks to @puma for sending me all the awesome goodies! #instabraam (at Wemmer pan)

Collab with the amazing Berlin based IGer @goldie_berlin! We had the privilege of meeting the best igers from Berlin a little while ago as they were visiting South Africa! Pop in to @goldie_berlin’s feed and you’ll see Cape Town captured through the eyes of one of the best international igers!

This is @goldie_berlin’s shot and my edit. She edited one of my puddlegrams, be sure to check it out!

And now for today’s caption, the word “love” has lost it’s value, it’s thrown around as if it’s a general word of excitement and is used in such a flimsy manner that the general interpretation of love has become desensitized to its true meaning. Someone once told me that true love begins after feelings, meaning that the individuals in a successful relationship learn to appreciate and love each other even after the heart flutter has gone, that way you make your love true because it has learnt to go beyond just loving from your heart.

Take some time today to tell someone you love them, but only if you mean it.

Toward the light

Legend and awesome “poser” in this shot! Fellow film maker who’s film Kanye Kanye got nominated for student oscars and was recently screened at New York Picture Start Film Festival (@nycpsfilmfest), and is also going to be screened at the Oscars this weekend! Legend!

The greater the call, the longer the preparation 😊 don’t let moments now pass you by because you’re too busy hoping for a “better” future. All good things happen in their due time. (at Wemmer pan)
