Pick-nicks and Camp Fire (Bush TV) while having a traditional Braai (not a BBQ as that’s a flavour of crisp) or Potjie and chin-wag about the days shots taken and missed, settings and more.

In a frame, still and silent,

Lives a moment, vivid, vibrant.

Through the lens, time is caught,

Memories in pictures sought
