It’s late, and I have about fifteen minutes left before this day is no more and that will mean that I have not met with my own requirement — to take a picture and write a piece about it, inspired by the photograph, each day. So, here I venture into writing and posting this before the clock strikes twelve. I won’t make it long. I feel such excited, it is really creeping up within me and overtaking my entire being. This passion and love I have for this art that is photography. I am enjoying it so much. Tonight I took the trek up to Signal Hill (along with what felt like the rest of Cape Town) and after watching the sun set over the ocean, I started snapping away at the bright lights of this beautiful city I love so unbelievably much! This was followed by a trip down to the V&A Waterfront to capture some moving lights.

Like I said, I won’t make this long. Moral of the story — do something you love and that gets you excited, I mean giddily excited! The rush of good energy that pulsates through you that pups the adrenaline and keeps your heart pumping creativity! That’s it — good night and go get excited!

I was very inspired by one of my all time favourite songs, Bright Lights, by Ellie Goulding. Here's the lyrics, go listen to it and let it sink in.

I had a way then losing it all on my own I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home Calling, calling, calling home You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I'm alone

Home

Noises, I play within my head Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine it when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home Calling, calling, calling home You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine it when I'm alone

Home

Yeah, hee

Light, lights, lights, lights Light, lights, lights, lights Light, lights, lights, lights Light, lights

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine it when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home Calling, calling, calling home You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine it when I'm alone

Home, home Light, lights, lights, lights Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home Light, lights, lights, lights Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home Light, lights, lights, lights Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home Light, lights, lights, lights Light, lights, lights, lights
