First thought "what the eff" I did not know that there was a farm right here, this is sooo cool!! Okay so you might be wondering what in the world I'm doing at this farm in the first place. Well, my friend Jade Valjee who is a photographer at college a really really awesome photographer if I may add, invited me to go with her to take photo's for her assignment.

So she asked me to come with her to the farm so she can take pictures of the normal working day of some of these people and the animals, not that the animals do any work but yeah, you know what I mean. So at the farm I took some time to walk on my own and just look around. As I was walking I came across some really creative work done by the farmer himself I reckon, he does his work in the . You wouldn't really think a farmer could be this creative and cool, but this guy really is. I can't really explain his work, its very out of the ordinary and some might say its just "scrap" really.
To me, its far from just a bunch of "scrap" material put together. Its something way more than that.

I thought about what this man actually thinks when he does his work, like in what mind set is he in to even begin creating the work he does. Then I wondered if this guy actually gives himself enough credit for his work. Like, what is it to him? How much does this mean to him. I didn't actually have the chance to speak to the guy but what I got of him is that he is just a normal farmer living his normal farm life with a bit of creative feel in it as well, which is really cool. That to me is a balanced creative life, being able to do your everyday things which aren't regarded as creative and also putting in some creative aspects in there too and that being part of your normal life.
I admire this man for his great work. I really do, sometimes as creatives we struggle to find a balance between our creativity and our normal everyday lives.
OK, that's all from me for now.
Peace
