About Me

My photo
Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa
Growing up as a child, my sister joined the airforce and started a career as a photographer.I was always fascinated with her cameras, and when ever I got the chance had it in hand. Inevitability growing up around aircraft, whether it being on operational bases, or at airshows, or just visiting museums, with my father being a airforce veteran, and my sister a photographer, the bug bit me! I invested in my first SLR camera, that being a Canon EOS 450D, later on in 2011 I upgraded to a Canon EOS 7D. I continue to challenge myself and grow my skill.

African aerospace and defence, day 1

After a hot, lenghty build up, it has finally arrived, AAD is here!
Here are just but a few photos that I love from the day.
