Title: Suspended In Youth

Location : Tulbagh, Western Cape, South Africa

''As most caught moments in life, that are generally unplanned, this was one of those. My partner and I took a trip to South Africa. My Motherland. This was New Year’s Day. We woke up early and went for a hike into the Mountains. We were alone for a good few hours swimming in these rock pools before about 10 local kids made their way there. 

I had my camera, they had their joy for life. We all swam and hung out together, talking about the new year ahead. We froze their joyful moments forever. Fearless and content.

Always grateful for these moments in life. To connect with people and nature in ways you least expect.

This was a beautiful reminder to never forget to connect with the inner child. They're always ready to play.''
