Do you remember, in the “olden days” of film photography, how everyone would gather around the sofa to view the latest holiday and party snaps? That’s the inspiration behind the the “Photo Sofa”. I hope you’ll take a seat, relax and enjoy the images I put in here. They are not “spectacular” in the the sense of “photos that change the world”, but there are a few I quite like. I have been taking photographs since 1976, when I bought my first SLR, an Olympus OM1n. Generally, my subject matter is anything I can point a camera at that catches my eye. Residing in Johannesburg, South Africa, I make my living in the world of advertising as a copywriter, but I have also done stints as an actor and a radio newsreader. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
“I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.”…. i like that

Not sure I’ll ever figure that one out! So many options, so many cool things to do…
Hi Grahame. Your blog looks great on the iPad, and I’ve used it as an example of a cool blog to visit on the iPad here: http://news.sean.co.uk/2011/09/how-to-customise-your-blog-for-ipad.html. I visited South Africa a few years ago and I enjoyed browsing your photos.
Thanks for your kind comments, Saun. I’m tickled pink that you are using my blog as an example of how to make a WP blog look good on an iPad. I wasn’t even aware of this WP feature until I read your article! WordPress rocks!
Yes WordPress is fabulous! If you’d like the full resolution version of the screengrab I did, send me an email via http://www.sean.co.uk/contact.shtm and I’ll email it over to you.
Hello Grahame! Do you know who organised the photowalk through the Old Park Station Concourse that I can contact with regards to organising access? Many thanks
Bronwyn
Hi Bronwyn, Joburg Photowalkers organised the walk. You can find them on Facebook, a Flickr group, and a blog. At any of these sites you should encounter Mark Straw and he will more than likely be able to put you in touch with the right people. Hope this helps.
