My photo of the year (2014)

 

 

This was done in a dining room @ her mother’s flat in Florida, West of Johannesburg. I must say, this is my photo of the year. I love the person in it and how I managed to get the high key shot that I had anticipated. This shot came out the way I wanted. 🙂 Practice makes improvement. I had prepared how I will do the technique used a day before.

I had fun working with the baby and her family and given an opportunity and also if time allows me, I will go and snap her again. She is cute, chubby and bubbly. 🙂 🙂

Enjoy my photo of the year 2014 🙂 🙂

Mohloboko Octavious Phukubye

 

Mr Mohloboloko Octavious Phukubye @ Braamfontein, Johannesburg. I see this man as Mr. SAB Kickstart, some see him as Dad, Friend, Colleague, Mr Neat, and whatever he may branded himself to you. I see him as Mr SAB Kickstart because I met him at SAB Kickstart program 2012. 🙂 🙂 :).  My main reason for seeing him as Mr. SAB Kickstart is the passion and drive that you see in him when he talks about entrepreneurship and how SAB Kickstart program plays a pivotal role in the lives of entrepreneurs.

 

This shot was just taken after we had a pre-supper at Vuyo’s in Braamfontein. We talked business, a bit of innovation and most importantly networking. Networking is one me of the important things that an entrepreneur needs in order to survive in a dog-eat-dog business world. The strength of your network will determine your success in sustaining your business. Maintaining and nurturing your networks in business is also very crucial. Now and again it is important to keep in touch with people in your network as your profit line depends on them. Mohloboko mentioned that I need to network with relevant people and always be closer to my network. This is true because I can only feel the heat if i am closer to the fire. It is better to have a powerful and a strong network of influential people than having lots of money and no network.

Interesting thing that we also talked about was commenting about political and religious views in public and on social media. It is important as an emerging business person to reserve your political and religious views to yourself as you will never know who might be listening. One of your important client with a bigger purse might be a staunch supporter of an opposition party and you might chase him away only by saying negative things about his/her political party of choice. This also applies on religion. Always be alert on the things you say, where you say them and who is listening. Once you say a word (negative or positive), you will never reverse or get the opportunity to replace it.  🙂 🙂 🙂

Mkhukhu on another level

 

This is one of the innovative ideas I have ever seen in Johannesburg. Converting containers into accommodation and stacking them on top of each other and placing them on top of an old milling silo. This is creativity at its best. Impressive. Practical…will see as soon as they are finished. Construction is still going on onsite.

 

If you look at this with another eye, this is squatter camp on another level. Conceptualised squatter camp, mkhukhu on steroids. I hope the owners will not request the contractor to paint them. I love the rough look, it gives an interesting feel, especially looking from an angle where I took this photo. This student residence is catchy from all angles. I like it, I wish I were a student, I would definitely stay there and take interesting photographs from above.
