Photographic inspirations

My sister is busy doing a photography course at the Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography and I've decided to feature some of her work during this course to see her develop and grow into, what I hope to be, my very talented photo-journalist-blogger for Worded Reflections... This was me committing her for future posts in case you didn't notice.

Some of her work that she sent me_ I've given the titles, perhaps she will accept them as I propose:

Heat me up

Silhouettes at sunset

Then and Now

As an architect I form part of a team of people who are responsible for shaping, developing and ultimately changing our landscapes. A responsibility that should not be taken lightly!

Look at these then and now shots of famous cities to fully grasp what can be done in only a few years, I actually find it quite scary!

San Francisco then and now

Dubai then and now

New York then and now

Probably the most astonishing, as this was done in just 20 years!!

Shanghai then and now

Cinemagraphs
