south africa meets san francisco.

1neville

so i’ve had this kind of mutual admiration society going on with neville trickett of the fabulous south african-based blog, saint verde digest. neville just intrigues me, and i love just about everything he creates. make that, everything. i featured his family home on unexpected guests here, and some of his beautiful photo collections here. so recently, i was chatting via email with another wonderfully creative south african, heather moore of skinny laminx, and she suggested neville and i do some sort of artistic collaboration. brilliant, i thought! thank you, heather for a wonderful idea! so neville and i got together and exchanged some favorite photos and went to work on our own little photographic projects. i took some of his images, and combined them with mine. there may not seem to be much method to my madness, but i just loved the combination of two random images side by side, south africa meets san francisco. neville’s image appears on the right, and mine to the left of these a little bit crazy diptychs. i hope you enjoy these if perhaps just for a bit a visual eye candy and maybe some small inspiration. thanks neville! this was fun! for more brilliance from neville, visit saint verde digest.

    It’s funny – there are two sites I almost always check out – sfgirlbybay and saint verde digest. They’re both fabulous in their own way and I love that you’ve now combined your creativity to bridge thousands of miles – I am impressed!

    I love how the paired images bounce your eye back and forth until they almost become one. Just brilliant, thank you both!
