NOTE: It was “videos” but is now just “video” as we have finally found the best footage possible!

Consider these wise words of wisdom from greater men than I: “You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline […]
Those of you who are Stellenbosch University Alumni may perhaps remember the annual “Soen in die Laan” (“Kiss in the Lane”) event, at which scores of students clench lips in a moment of heady abandon. Such a lovely Casablanca vibe, hey? Yeah, it is. Except…

In my matric year, 16 years ago today, South Africa held it’s first democratic elections, which brought the ANC and Nelson Mandela into power.

It’s quite fortunate that one doesn’t have to think too clearly when dealing with photographs, because my head is not in the correct space to entertain thought. For example these pics.
