My initial blog post here was referring to <a href="http://www.playjumpeat.com/">this project</a> that has actually been actualized in Cape Town, South Africa during 2010. Some of my initial experiments with photography with <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.paigegreenphotography.com">Paige Green</a> in Petaluma, CA helped start get the momentum going &amp; the ball rolling into some tangible evidence. (thank you, Paige!).<br /><br />But, when I landed on S. African soil, I began working heavily, aka: <span style="font-style: italic;"> DOVE IN headfirst!</span> with <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.ingeprins.com">Inge Prins</a>, &amp; then later with <a href="http://antonia.co.za/">Antonia Steyn</a>, <a href="http://www.charleypollard.com/gallery/index.php">Charley Pollard</a>, &amp; my lovely academic &amp; photography-loving husband,<a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.sachutney.blogspot.com"> Saul Wainwright</a>.<br /><br />See more on the project from <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/13047262">the video</a><br /><br />This project has been the LOVE OF MY LIFE!, &amp; is really, I think, just the tip of the iceberg.<br />Thank you Everyone in Cape Town.
