Great, warm and friendly. 'Nuff said!Well, ok...those three words could have described the jol, but there are at least a couple of additional things I need to say about the jol, so here goes...
OK...So we've already established that the day was HOT!
It was so hot that I was surprised that some of the eggs actually broke during the egg tossing competition! I thought they were going to be cooked by the second throw already, because that's how I felt by that time.You see? I was standing in the sun most of the day taking photos of people having fun! I know. I know. It's my own stupidity for not seeking the shadows. However, I can tell you that, in spite of the fact that it sounds like I'm complaining, I was actually having a whale of a time!
There were a whole lot of games on the day. These included some of the more "usual" games, such as tyre throw and tug-of-war, but there was also an egg throwing competition, as I mentioned a little bit earlier, which provided some interesting moments!Among those interesting moments were three very lucky "Catch The Moment"-type photographs, of which I include two below.
The one on the left is one of two instances where I was lucky enough to catch someone at that moment when the egg broke in their hands as they caught it.
The one on the right is also one of those "one-in-a-million" photos, but I think what actually made this shot for me is the fact that he actually caught the egg in the end...and it didn't break!Those that have been following my posts on this blog for a while may remember that I mentioned something in one of the previous posts about how it was fun to take pics of people?
Well, I remember saying something like that, ok?
I realised again at this specific jol how nice it is to photograph people without them knowing that they are being photographed, because they remain "natural".
When we had the memorial service for "Pommie" on Saturday, 25 February, I noticed how few photos there were of the man at jols and rallies.
Most of the photos were of his Police days, which is fair enough, but I thought I just had to put a photo of the man in here to make it clear that he was actually a biker as well!
Rest in Peace Pommie.
Although I generally like taking photos of people "naturally", there are also occassions where people can, and actually do, pose properly for a pic or two.Such was the case with René (Pastor and National President of CMA) who was at the jol with his daughter, Kenau.
And to top it all off, I actually got the bunch of Inka Riders to also stand still long enouhg so I could get a pic of the lot of them together just before I left.
Thanks to Bossie and the rest of the Inka Riders for a memorable jol.
