Detail of the artwork i posted earlier. 

I took this shot of a heavily used basketball in Durban. My nephew has used this ball so often on the concrete floor that it is ultra smooth now.  

A macro shot with a simple focal B&W applied using software. I used a tripod so as to keep the camera as steady as possible.

The final piece completed and framed. I think the artist did a decent job of recreating the spirit of the original. Let me know what you think? A reproduction of John William Godward's original - "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder"

... a rough finish of the artwork reproduced by the local artist. I will take a better photo with a fram and post it soon. 

A painting called "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" by John Godward. I love the serene yet concerned look of the maiden in this piece. I have commissioned a local artist to reproduce this in oil on canvas for me. I will post a pic of the reproduction when i receive it. Copyright belongs to the original artist, John Godward. 

Sun glaring on a hot summers day in Johannesburg. I especially liked the lens flare. I have been away on vacation hence my lack of updates...
