Added 2021-09-13 06:02:50 +0000 UTCWe first met Dara in 2020 mere days before cvd-19 became a household name and the world went into perpetual lockdown. I have often thought back to our day with her, it's still such a poignant moment for us & proves how quickly the world can change. One day you are running naked through the forests laughing at the international loo paper crisis. A week later, the world stops and zombies come trundling across the lawn.... wait, sorry. That last bit might not *actually* have happened. (Facebook fact checker would hate me) Anyway, fast forward a bit, restrictions have lifted temporarily and we are finally returned to the Western Cape, having spent 5 months in another province. Dara and I stay in touch and, after some juggling around work shifts, set a date to catch up. Unintentionally it was exactly one year after our first shoot. Must be a sign. We met up for a walk and a sunset swim. Well that was the idea but the water was even colder than usual, so there wasn't a huge amount of swimming. None the less, we felt the water, scrambled over rocks and enjoyed each others company. Sunset was pure magic, managed to catch it at the end of our walk just before Dara had to dash off.. It was really good to catch up with her again... and wonderful to see she has managed to be creative and flourish over the last year, despite the challenges we have all faced. Hope you guys enjoy the photos. Dara has requested our selection be "Discreet" given her career. We can only respect her wishes and are grateful she lets us share our adventure with you here.
