Pronoia.Africa: OutAndAbout

I Just Love The Perspective

I just love the way the fisheye captures photos, especially on a film camera cause there are no retakes, and get to see all your photos after development. Some are good, some are not so good, and some just freaking amazing. Found these photos that I took a while ago on my Lomography Fisheye film camera.

So __m.a.d____ came down to Cape Town from Johannesburg early in 2020 just for a visit, before the pandemic hit South Africa. While he was down in CPT the pandemic hit SA and they were in a heavy lockdown he couldn’t go back up to Joburg, so he decided to stay in Cape Town for the rest of 2020 and most of 2021. These are the photos he took with his phone….     

So M.A.D and Ntokozo had a dope time at the Spindle Event, just when you think old school Hip Hop parties are dead Spindle has blessed us with the old-school mix-up of genres with that good scratch DJ feel. They had a lineup that killed b-boys breaking it down on the dance floor. Boogie Blind banged his set hard, what more can you expect from a X-ecutioners from New York? Boogie Blind is an official remembrance of the Spindle Crew alongside Tha Cutt and a list of other really dope South African DJs.
