Playing pool looks good in black & white...Koh Phangan, Thailand ...

Messing around with a new (for me) setting on my 600D... Golf from Sofa inspired me to shoot in monochrome so here's my first attempt. Not great but it's a start- I'll keep at it natch. These pics were taken at the estate where we are staying on Koh Phangan and the pool shots were captured at the Bangers and Nash bar in town...

Crazy Paul & his BMW superbike...

So this is Paul van der Spuy, big on positivity, good coffee, seizing the day & driving bikes. The wheels below are a temporary acquisition from friend Mike, after Paul's K1300R suffered a setback...like a mini engine blow up! Eek. Oh, I'm married to him btw...for 22 years*

Judge Dredd actress in Cape Town

Olivia Thirlby who played Judge Dredd's sidekick in the recent Dredd remake (she was also the best friend to Juno in the movie of the same name), is in Cape Town quite often....she always pops in to say hi to Paul (left) at his bluecollarwhitecollar pop up stand at the Old Biscuit Mill. She has given ours on Luke (right) a lot of great advice re how to proceed with his acting studies.

Here is a fab store, selling amazing shirts & retro T's, in Cape Town (Lifestyle Centre on Kloof) & in Joburg (The Zone, Rosebank). Also at the Olde Biscuit Mill in Cape Town every Saturday & at the Neighbourgoods Market in Braamfontein. The stores are owned by Paul van der Spuy & Adrian Heneke~ their motto: it's all about the shirt...they're not interested in trends but good, honest style, for the corporate (white collar) & the casual (blue collar)... go on a spree, you know you should.....It's Christmas time after all, so time to spoil yourself or A.N.Other *

Paul van der Spuy

There's Paul, at the Biscuit Mill, Table Mountain in the background. Paul has that weird wheatgrass hair...it's part of his brand, together with those lamb chops on his cheeks...I promise you, I'm going to shave them off one night while he is sleeping....they're not my best. But I'm just the wife.... :)
