 How's it going guys? And as you may have guessed, this is not my lounge in Suffolk, this is here on top of Table Mountain in Cape Town. Yes, we are. TPE goes on tour. And on the way up here, and also we've got Asher with us today. He's going to join. Everybody say hi internet for Asher and stuff. Anyway, so I was thinking on the way up here that I was talking about. I was going to talk about the Sunny F-16 rule, which is kind of like, okay, useful, but kind of boring as well really, especially when we're here. And what I kind of thought about was how, you know, photography often, I think, certainly I've occasionally lost sight of, you know, why I enjoy photography because there is an aesthetic appeal, obviously. Hello Ash. But it's this, this is kind of, this is something that I really want to, hello Mr. Man, you can say hello. This is something that I, you know, that I feel is a thing that I lose sight of and is remembering that photographs and little boys climbing over here and things like this is, they are, you know, that they are keys to another time. They're keys to a place, thank you Ash. They're keys to a place and a time that has long gone. And if you spend all your time just thinking about taking amazing photographs of thank you Ash, of, you know, only tapping into the visual, you know, opportunities around you, like Table Mountain obviously is a well-known place. It is hugely popular. It's been photographed millions of times. And I think there would be a, you know, a tendency to come here and try and make amazing pictures because this is some sort of, it's called an insta worthy sort of, you know, sort of place in the world. And overlooking the fact that I've been coming here since like 1985, somewhere around there. And a lot of the times that come from that, a lot of the memories that come, come from specific photographs of, you know, coming here with my, my grand Asher police record. It's a, of coming here with my grand and grand dad, you know, 1985, you know, and going to this tiny little tea room at the top of this huge mountain and, you know, and sitting in this tiny place. And now that, that tea room is a, it's a, you know, secure shop because, you know, why? Of course it is, you know. And, you know, coming here in 2001 on a road trip around South Africa with a very dear friend of mine. And, and, you know, having these photographs that are there, that popcorn is, is on the, on the menu. I think which is kind of a, of a weird thing. There's always people walking past us going, what's this weird person doing? This phone. And of course this is a very impromptu episode of TPE. So it is on my phone without a gimbal, without anything. It's just, it's all, you know, just full on very, very quick. Anyway, so, you know, what I would sort of want to say to you is, you know, that when you are out and about, yes, we can look at places like this. We can see it and go, but that could be an amazing, you know, photograph, although it will be at today. The light is very directional, a bit straight. Yeah! Also, it is, it's tricky to find. At a quiet spot, especially if you have a four-year-old. But, you know, so there's one thing, you can look at the landscape, you can look at the scenery. Oh my God, that's amazing. I can take some really cool photographs and be too focused on that. Too focused on trying to tease out the, you know, the standout photos. And at the expense of doing something like this, attacked by strawberries, because the real reason that I came up here today is to make memories with my son. Unfortunately, Shana is not keen on cable cars. And to get up here, unless you want to walk for a few hours, you need to really kind of, you know, you need to take the cable car. So I'm being attacked by her shirt. And of course, that will be the memory of this time, is that this is not a perfect video by any means. It's not, you know, but it's a video where I am, you know, creating a memory. Because, you know, the funny thing, you know, in years time, this video will hopefully still exist. And now I'm going to turn around to the hugely bright side to show you what panda eyes do. If you're trying to shoot a portrait in the middle of the day, this is why you get panda eyes. Because the sun's coming down, making these big panda eyes. So if you really want to get rid of it, you just turn around like that and put your face into open shade. Anyway, you know, the whole thing with this is that I wanted to make some memories just as much as the photographs from my trip in 2001 and other subsequent trips. And unfortunately, there are no images that I have from that trip from 1985 that will unlock a time for me to unlock a place. And they should do for Asha. And often if you are going to places where, you know, you are with your family or your mum or your dad or, you know, your children or what have you, it's take time to just sit and be attacked by a little boy, right? Because that will make the pictures far more special. There may not be amazing photographs that will win awards. In fact, they won't be. But what they will be, they will be priceless and be precious to you. Because when this moment is gone... Oh, you're going to get fired! When this little lad, Asha, when this little lad is, doesn't want anything to do with me. When he is like, oh my God, Dad, that's just totally boring. Why would I go up a mountain with you? At least I have the reminder. And, you know, when things come to pass and, you know, decades from now, he will have the reminder as well. And I think that's something that we should always kind of remember to put back into our photography, is just taking a moment just to, yeah, do like a Kodak thing, taking a Kodak moment. Anyway, thank you for putting up with my ramblings on top of Table Mountain. And yes, thank you ever so much. And I'm going to go back, so we don't get panda eyes, and I will see you all again soon.
