One giveth, and one taketh away
I was just leaving church at Lynnwood Bridge (in Pretoria) yesterday when I was called over by some friends who were having lunch at TriBeCa Standard.
“You have to take some photos of our little cousin giving money to the buskers,” I was instructed.
And, as usual, I was quite happy to comply and very pleased that I carry my camera everywhere I go.
Now what are those guys up to over there?
Aha! Teenage buskers. They’re not half bad either.
Now what’s the story with this guitar case and all the money inside?
So, let’s see. If I throw a few coins in …
… I get to choose …
… a R100 note from inside …
… Take the gap, and run as fast as I can! This is easier than taking candy from a baby! *
* All “liberated” money was returned to the buskers.

I'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment.
They called me weed
I have been blogging here since around April 2011 - my little place on the blogosphere to express myself creatively. As a teenager I used to write a diary - in fact, as a 17-year-old living in Belgium, I wrote religiously every day. Fortunately the Internet didn't exist back then because my ramblings as a teenager were ever-so-slightly dark, cynical and depressing. You won't find much of that here. Also, mostly, I try not to get too deep or philosophical in this forum - I'd like my photography to uplift and inspire, and, where I can, I try to bring a bit of humour into my writing too. I've been fortunate enough to travel extensively and have made many friends across the globe. This is my spot to keep in touch with them.
You are really a good photographer – these pictures could tell the story all by themselves, I’m thinkin’!!
Quite unrehearsed, honest – and delightful.
Hi Robin
My name is Ellen Louw and I love your blog and your photo’s. I was wondering if your photo’s have got copyright on them and whether or not I could use them in paintings.
I’m not the best artist ever, but I love painting children and for that I need photo’s (which I’m not very good in taking)
I would really appreciate it if you could let me know.
Kind Regards
Ellen Louw
So cute! I don’t know if you get tired of everyone saying you are such a good photographer. I don’t have anything original to say and I’m not really a connoisseur of photography, but I love your pictures. This little guy is too cute.
He’s adorable and this post made me laugh out loud…well done!
il est adorable et c’est vrai que tes images parlent d’elles-mêmes… très mignon !
