Franschhoek Literary Festival 2015

I was the official photographer at the Franschhoek Literary Festival. It was hard work, but so much fun. Following is a somewhat random selection of the pictures I took.

I have no idea what her name is, but she has a great smile.

This woman too allowed me to take her picture, but did not stop to give her name.
