Perfection Starts From Within

by Saajida Akabor | posted in: Creative, Fiction | 8

Instagram post 2018792074408907261_1207825766 When you have older/senior family members visiting, it can be tricky to find age-appropriate activities. So it was such a delight when I took my parents to the Franschhoek Motor Museum (@franschhoekmotormuseum) - a paradise of vintage automobiles on a picturesque estate. And you can book a ride in a vintage car!
.
My expectations were low as I don’t know much about cars, but wow! We were all thoroughly impressed and enjoyed ourselves.

Instagram post 2008647210199263587_1207825766 Over the weekend I attended a photography workshop presented by @vaughanmac_ which was sponsored by @sonyalphasa and hosted at @soilforlife in Constantia.
.
.
The workshop was a recap on getting started with your DSLR (any make; not limited to Sony) and tips to improve your shots. Also got to meet some wonderful people!
.
.
Thanks for having us.

Instagram post 2006826539404066514_1207825766 This was one of the first pictures I took with my 50 mm lens... I was heavily pregnant at the time, found it such an effort to leave the house, and the closest subject I could find was this fur ball chilling on my car before retreating to a safe distance (perhaps I looked scary tired?!).
.

I love the way this photo came out.

I contacted them for advice on how to mend it, and was offered a brand new one as a replacement. By no surprise, we’re impressed by their quality of customer service. 👌🏼

Can’t believe it’s almost 3 years since we embarked on this road trip. Much fun, laughter and relaxation. 🏖 But truly, it’s the company that makes a holiday a great holiday.
