I’m interrupting my Namibia series for this important announcement: 2Summers has procured an iPhone.
There are many secrets locked inside this mysterious machine that I have yet to discover. I don’t know how to activate the 3G, or to switch the ringer on from silent. But there is one thing I can say for certain: The camera works.
A few of the Jozi Instagrammers – or IGersJozi, as the group is called – met up on Sunday afternoon to shoot pictures around the Orlando Power Station in Soweto. It was my first time taking the iPhone on an instawalk and I went batshit crazy. I took dozens and dozens of photos and haven’t even gone through them all yet. But here are my favorites so far.

It’s taking me a while to adjust to the tiny screen. And I need to remember than an iPhone battery dies quickly when you’re shooting ten photos a minute. But still. iPhonography is rad, dude. Especially in Soweto at Golden Hour.
Back to Namibia in the next post.
How have I never blogged about 44 Stanley Avenue, the coolest shopping and dining complex in Joburg, which is only five minutes from my house?
I guess it’s wrong to say I’ve never blogged about 44 Stanley; I’ve mentioned it countless times over the years (see here and here) when writing about specific restaurants or shops that are there. But I’ve never written a dedicated post about 44 Stanley as a destination and it’s about time I did – especially now, with the holidays upon us.
I’ve been dreadfully uninspired lately, struggling to think of anything I want to blog about despite having a long list of great ideas (many of which you, my readers, provided in September). I’m finding it hard to feel positive about life at the moment. But on Saturday Thorsten and I got the chance to visit Indwe Park, an indigenous garden and sculpture park in Braamfontein, and I knew I had my topic for today.
Given this week’s political nuclear bomb blast, it feels like a weird time to publish a light-hearted post about my recent (pre-election) jaunt through the United States. But I’m hoping you’ve have had enough of the U.S. election horror show – I know I have – and are ready (at least temporarily) for some wholesome American travel adventures. If so, please read on about my four-day visit to Maine, the northeastern-most state in the lower 48, with my sister, Susanna.

It makes me smile, when I see it.
