Snapping Africa







This is just to get to know my new camera a Nikon D90. I am endeavouring to challenge myself in adding one photo daily for the rest of the year. I do live in an interesting part of Africa, Tete, Mozambique where lots is going on and happening. Enjoy

I recently read........."Photograph the light--not the land. When you learn to see and photograph light your photography will be transformed." and wow how this has changed the way I look at what I am trying to capture. I guess it's the same with life.......look beyond what you see in front of you. His Light transforms all :)

About Me

My Photo
snappingafrica
I'm a Zimbabwean, born and bred and proud of it......We farmed for many years on the SE border of Zimbabwe. Many amazing years were had there and memories were made that can never be taken away. As Zimbabwe spiralled into more and more chaos and uncertainty, I found I was able to retreat into an amazing world of creativity and colour with my oil paintings. A recent addition to my life has been a Nikon D90, and life in rural Mozambique has certainly been made a lot brighter. Even thought Tete is known as one of the hottest and dustiest places in Southern Africa, I have found that if you look for beauty, colour and joy, it can certainly be found.......even in the most unlikely places. I thank God for this gift of colouring the world around me.
