Author Information

Born in Fish Hoek, Cape Town, I would say that a considerable portion of my very early years were spent taking the sunshine, beaches and oceans totally for granted. Our front door was never locked, my mother safe in the knowledge that we were happy on the beach, or what to us were, huge sand dunes under the watchful eyes of the numerous retired senior citizens that spent time in those locations. Everybody knew everybody, deeds of daring do or more accurately daring shouldn't do never went unreported. What a halcyon life we led, have loved the sea ever since. After school, an ill-timed stint at University punctuated by military service and the an opportunity arose to complete the Law degree and secure a sustainable future or risk everything on a trip overseas to race cars a no brainer, so I bowed down to studies ... not. My love affair with racing cars started long before at the age of 11 my Dad helped me to begin to race Go-karts. We progressed to entry-level single seat race cars, very exciting full blown Sports Racing cars and later the brutal fully modified Saloon Cars, loved and miss them all . A passion for fast motorbikes went hand-in-glove with my other pursuits in the name of The Need for Speed which in those days had absolutely nothing to do with amphetamines, just common or garden adrenaline, self supplied. My Dad a Hardly Abelson man rode several Harleys in various stages of development in the self same quest to piss off the Traffic Department. It's these odd moments that effect you precisely at that time and perhaps return every now and again to prod one's deeper soul and reflect on just who or what you've become. So, no, I didn't sell the boat and start a sanctuary for orphaned Tuna fish nor did I take up a position with Greenpeace. But what I did do was pick up my camera again and years later I've picked up another camera. This will give me a chance to send a smile or hopefully a laugh wrapped up in a picture to anyone who cares to share these pages. Holy Mackerel, I hear you say, what's your point ? My point is this, if you have passions in your life, mine are capturing a moment of life in a photo, riding a motorbike, loving animals and you can get to do these things life has blessed you. I'm certainly not wealthy moneywise, but I'm richer than most millionaires. So from now on the editorial will be 75% photographic and 75% entertainment, that sounds about the right mix. Till then, Best wishes John
