My love of Photography

Well, who doesn't love it? How can you not love it? To me, photography is one of the purest art forms. It captures parts of the most vibrant beauty we know of: Nature. Very few things can match the beauty of a sunset over a glassy shore, or a blade of grass covered in morning dew. And now, with modern day technology, we can capture these moments like never before.

To me, other forms of art are just mimicry of what we see around us. With a camera, a steady hand and a good eye for beauty, you can show others that beauty.

If you've never tried photography, I suggest that you pick up a camera and you get at it! It's not hard, but beware of the constant shooting that some digital photographers do. Take time with your shots, and think about them. It's likely that you or your family will have a camera, and if not, think about investing in one!

Zuma goes at Zapiro over cartoon

Wow. What a cartoon. Pure and utter brilliance. Unfortunately, Jacob Zuma has taken offense to it, and has decided to sue Zapiro for publishing it. You can read the article Here.

Now, I may be young, but even I can see that their claims of it being racist and sexist are based on complete garbage. What this cartoon is, is an reasonably accurate representation of what Zuma is doing to South Africa's justice system, and nothing less. Zuma claims that it's portraying blacks as rapists, but I'm sure that if any of the people portrayed in the cartoon had been white Zapiro wouldn't have hesitated with putting them in the cartoon.

Really, if Zuma and the ANC don't want these kind of cartoons coming out, they should get their act together more.
