Again a fantastic picture Andre. It is every time a pleasure looking a new upload from you.
grtz, Nico
Andre du Plessis  Hi Nico. Thanks for your lovely words. I visited your 'Feeding the birds' earlier today, and reading in the forum on 'Steet' again about Robert's insistence that juxtaposition in street is so important, that picture of yours is so special. Regards, Andre

If your pictures could speak they would not shout. They will tell you a story with smooth voice about a photographers passion to show the simple and quite moments of the peoples life. It is not only going there and just make a picture. It is a careful approach while establishing communications with the people. This makes such a portrait to peoples photography!

Robert
Andre du Plessis  Very nice words that you say Robert - thank you very much. I am glad that some of my pics speak softly, for it is very soft and gentle people that I seem to meet when I am with my camera. That is what I so much like about them, and what I would like you to feel about them. Many thanks, Andre

Another one of your special portraits, Andre, full of life and feelings! Love it!
Andre du Plessis  Thanks Codrin. I have been very fortunate to come across this family. Never planned, but always a result.

For those of us who know SA this picture tells many stories. Do the family have
all these photos Andre and what do they think of their stardom ? First class :)
Andre du Plessis  Hi Stephen. Yes, they always get many 8 x 10 prints from my visit before. I stil owe them the Dec 08 prints. Have not seen the Kannemeyers since I joined OE, and will print out a screenshot to they see what it involves. They are not really internet friendly, as you will understand. Went to the farm owner, Mr. Johnson, on my last visit to meet him and get him enthused, but I don't think that he quite appreciated the significance of all this, and probably thinks that I am a bit strange. Stardom? I do not think that they really comprehend the world as we know it. Now that I have an internet dongle I shall actually visit OE 'live', and I am sure that it will be a joy for them to see themselves appear.

that's really nice! although a little dark on my (calibrated) laptop screen lol...almost missed this one from you, gotta have you as a contact
Andre du Plessis  Hi Zaahir. I shaded them a bit in this, in an attempt to distance them from the white wall. Cheers!

Faces with character - her hands say she has worked hard - her eyes and his say 'kindness'. Bravo on this publication. My best, Phyllis
