Shockingly, my whirlwind trip to Ghana was nearly a year ago and I did a few things there that I still need to tell you about. My visit to Hakim Jewelart in Accra is one of them.

As most of you know, I shoot the majority of my photos with a Canon DSLR. I’ve always shot with Canon, mainly because the two photographers who taught me everything I know – my dad and my late boyfriend Jon – used Canons and taught me to do the same. Their advice has never let me down.

I recently wrote an opinion piece about the Maboneng Precinct for JHBLive.com. Here it is, for anyone who missed the original:

JHBLive asked me to write an article about the Maboneng Precinct. I was hesitant at first.

There are two Turkish restaurants in Joburg, located close to one another in the adjacent ethnic food hubs of Fordsburg and Mayfair. I’ve written about both restaurants on jhblive.com (see here and here) but never on my blog. So I thought I’d bust out a quick post about them. If you’re craving Turkish this weekend, here’s where to go.

Here’s an article I wrote about Hallmark House, the Maboneng Precinct’s most recent development project, for JHBLive. (Read the original JHBLive article.) I’m also working on a follow-up opinion piece about Maboneng, coming soon. Enjoy:

My list of favorite places to eat in Mayfair, Joburg’s ever-expanding Muslim quarter, is growing. King Arabic Sandwich is the newest addition. Here’s my review of it, which recently appeared on JHBLive.
