Happy first Anniversary!!!
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

WOW I was so busy I am a few weeks behind I see. Will try to catch up as soon as possible…
On Sunday we went to Balito beach. This was the path down to the beach. I took this photo with my Blackberry.
As you know by now I went to Durban to capture my best friends wedding. I had the shock of my life when I wanted to take a photo and my camera lens fogged up within seconds. I was worried about the wedding photo’s and went online and started to Google fogged up camera lens. I came across a few forums that had the same advice. Put your camera in a Zip Lock bag and leave it outside so that the lens can adapt to the climate. I asked my friend to please take me to the nearest Spar so that I can go buy some Zip lock bags. Lucky for me they had 1 packet of large bags that I can use. When I got back to my friends house I put my camera in the bag and later I tested it and the lens did not fog up. From now on there will always be a Zip lock bag in my camera bag.
Okay I hope someone out there will be able to give me some advice. This is the first time that I am in Durban in December since I’ve became a photographer. The humidity is very high and even the furniture in the house are very humid.
This morning I took out my camera to take some photo’s of my friends daughter but the lens fogged up before I could take my first photo. I packed away my camera immediately. Tomorrow is my friends wedding and I am starting to stress. I hope tomorrow the weather is better.
I am searching the internet for some solutions hope I get answers before the wedding tomorrow.
I will only be posting my photo’s of the day when I am back in Cape Town on the 10th of December.
Chat again tomorrow . Need to get some answers and fast…..

laugh and cry together, and just plain commiserate and listen to each other.
