8 Lessons of life that I have learned from Photography in 2014.... Life is not necessarily what it seems through the viewfinder.......Once it's transferred onto the big screen, we can see things more clearly. My whole perspective of the view changes when I lift the camera higher over the filth at my feet.....Your attitude determines your altitude . Everyone I photograph has a story to tell.....Take the time to listen. The little detail in the corner, once cropped, can become the main feature!....Don't ignore small beginnings. Black and white photography helps to show the light and shadows more clearly...... It's going through the tough times (the boring black and white) that we gain a better perspective of life. Saturating an otherwise drab colour photograph a little often turns it into a wow!.... Praise and encourage those you meet, it raises them higher (and you in the process) You don't have to photograph the whole thing, sometimes just a little part tells a better story...... We don't need to try and figure out the "whole thing" just do our part, Trust Him, and seize the moment, "the little!" Beauty can be found anywhere and everywhere......Take the time to look, see and capture!

Through the crumbling ruins of the past to the bright future of Tete, Mozambique.

I love when these red velvet Christmas spiders arrive in Tete! They come out of the ground with the first rain of the season! Love them as I have fond memories of collecting them in jars whilst growing up. It symbolizes rains arriving and Christmas

The beautiful delicate, white velvet flower of the baobab tree. Always amazes me! Only flowers for one day.

Whilst exploring on the banks of the Zambezi River, found this beautiful young girl of about 13 years old....... Could easily be a model!

Tete has a new bridge recently completed and opened..... I'm sure it will help to ease the traffic congestion on the old bridge..... This pic sums it all up. Coal has caused this once sleepy city to boom....

“You cannot depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus.” Mark Twain

Weeds and ruins. Not everyone's idea of beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Weary, hot, dry, waiting expectantly...... Rain arrives on time! God is faithful.....

This is how our surrounding bush is looking like right now! A few green leaves popping up in anticipation of the glorious rain soon to arrive......I used 3 different applications on the pic, the first one being untouched. What do you think?

my last black and white image for a 5 day challenge I was doing.... this is a paper tree somewhere in the bush of Tete, Mozambique..... I am very sad to add that all the trees in our "adpopted" country are fast disappearing, making me almost feel an urgency to photograph all the incredible trees I can find surrounding me......

Cool relief arrives with the setting sun...... Phew, we all breathe a deep sigh of relief!

Haven't updated my blog for so long, as with doing doing Instagram and Facebook, it's just another! So not sure if people are following my daily life in Africa on here, please let me know........ A HDR shot of something we see daily, as the sun sets, the village descends on the river, doing all the necessary and sometimes sadly, a croc has his dinner :(

I haven't added any images to my blog for a while no excuse really! I have been in quite a few different countries lately and have just been doing Instagram and Facebook... In Mauritius right now and loving the tranquil, colourful moments......

Well we spent a whole morning exploring the War memorial and museum! Fascinating ! Seoul, South Korea is Juls home for a few years, so it's important to get to know the history....
