Apart from my latest fascination with clouds in the sky, I have also taken to running outside in the rain with my camera a few times, resulting in me getting soaked, but capturing some wonderful moments as the rain fell around me and coming back in my house with a huge smile on my face. … Continue reading Rainy Summer Days
Feeling a bit out of sorts
This is one of my favourite photos. It was taken last year in Varadero, Cuba where my mum and I went on holiday during reading week. I've been feeling a bit out of sorts recently, for a few reasons. For one, to quote a good friend of mine, "a lot of changes are happening in … Continue reading Feeling a bit out of sorts

Under Paper Skies
Yes, this is a post about clouds. Lately, I've had a fascination with clouds in the sky. I don't know what it is. I'm sure we can all remember times when we were younger when we'd lie on a hill, a field of grass, on a deck, on a beach, on a drive to and … Continue reading Under Paper Skies

It is also a day where the people of South Africa and around the world are encouraged to take 67 minutes … Continue reading “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Avi’s Weekly Windup #3
Weekly Windup #3 features a rather interesting, worldly mix of music. Motif Records' labelmates Zaki Ibrahim and Reason are reppin' South Africa (and in Zaki's case, Canada also!) with their hip hop and house/r&b/soul sounds, respectfully. We've also got some sweet acoustic music from two local singer/songwriters and some melodic trance tunes from two of … Continue reading Avi’s Weekly Windup #3
