Astrid Stark Photography hits front page of Big Issue


I did a shoot with South African musician Lonesome Dave Ferguson. Check out his music www.myspace.com/lonesomedaveferguson. Dave belts out raw country grooves and plays dirty twangs through his harmonica that makes you want to slap your thighs and grind your hips in a filthy way.

The Big Issue's big mission is to create employment. Self respect and independence follow. Check them ut www.bigissue.org.za

Loch Ness Monster spotted in Cape Town

Yesterday, as I walked along the Sea Point prominade, I thought I saw Nessie slithering in a pool of water!
Luckily I had my trusty picture catcher with me - so I fired away and captured this image.

I have sent it off to Drumnadrochit (in Scotland) and will wait for their authenticity report.

Meanwhile it is back to the beach and "Operation Deepscan"
