Photography and Passion

Photography has been a living passion in the lives of many. A sheer driving force in the backbone of those always striving for perfection in bringing a reproduction of something existing or created to life in the form of a visual art piece. An ever evolving art form and a rapidly expanding medium ensures the serious enthusiast and professional a growing and endless array of knowledge and expertise to create images that have the potential to evoke emotion which in turn makes the art limitless. Just as this art form evolves and recreates itself, so does CWPhotography.

Jenna has always been a true inspiration to not only business people, but on a personal level in many live's including my own. A great mentor and a guru on the subjects of life, love and just about everything in between! You never walk away from a conversation with her without gaining some sort of enlightenment and she always maintains a truly approachable presence.

Wrong credit made right.




I think this post speaks for itself. At least this little mishap had a donation made to the New Life Centre for girls who have suffered sexual abuse of R 100. Not much at all I know, but still R 100 more than they had before the miss-creditation. Thanks Heat and especially Shayna Clifford from Jenna Clifford's for clearing this up!

Maponya Mall - Soweto - Copyright - Maponya Mall - Chris Wessles




















Maponya Mall lies in the heart of Soweto about 10 kms from the Baragwanath hospital on the Old Potch road. If you are ever in South Africa (or if you are here already) and ever around the Jo'burg area, I suggest you take a tour through Soweto and visit this mall, It is truly beautiful and interesting. Here you will be entertained and find real nicely priced goods as well. If you are into ethnic and cultural dress, there are a few gems to find here also. The people who frequent these corridors are very friendly and true to the warm African nature of making you feel welcome. Nice places to eat or stop for ice-cream or coffee and even something with a bit of a kick for the social occasion.
The surrounding Soweto suburbs also have allot to offer. It is very safe if you travel with someone who knows the area. I travel in and out of Soweto by myself often, I love the vibe and it is a very interesting place with loads of history!

The Penguins morning meditation - Copyright - Chris Wessels


After a chilly evening, with Falsebay gailforce winds in true fair Cape fashion adding to a misrable evening, I found these penguins warming up to the first rays of sunlight as if paying tribute to the sun gods.

Soccer City - 2010 is here! - Copyright - Chris Wessels












These are a just a few shots that I took about a month ago at a Dimension Data kick off event. This was the first ever event that officially took place in this new venue. Quite amazing to be there and see up close the breathtaking enormity and structure. I want to return soon when it's much closer to being completed to take some more when I am not pressured for time. I think 2010 is going to be a interesting year and time in South Africa. I see good things coming our way!
