Hi everyone!
This space was getting a bit too small for me and I've since moved over to a new site that felt more 'me'.
Please visit my new website at www.tanyajacobs.co.za.
Can't wait to see you there!

365 Project | Day 115 | Abstract
So my whole idea was to take my tripod to the festival and get a great shot of the ferris wheel/ fun fair for today's 365.
Except the ferris wheel was barely moving and I forgot my tripod.
So this, right here, is an abstract handheld shot of the top of the ferris wheel.
Photographers, don't judge.

Day 365 | Day 102 - 104
It's been a horrible weekend; sitting behind a computer screen all weekend is not cool.
But fortunately I got out for a few shots over the weekend and a photoshoot prior to my week(work)end.
On Friday , I photographed a gorgeous matriculant before her big evening. Photos coming during the week.
How I felt on Saturday afternoon.
Still not done (Sunday, 5.30pm) but a break for a few snaps of william and husband playing fetch.

365 Project | Day 101 | Lived to share the river story
Today we went down to the river because I thought the willow trees made for a photo that mirrored the weather.
Dreary. Miserable. Depressing.
We stopped on the main road and took a walk down, but in search for a better angle, we drove around and followed along the riverbed till I found a good enough angle of the trees.
Now anyone in Newcastle knows, this is neither the safest nor the most hygenic place to be.
It's ridden with homeless folk, horny couples and one or two criminal-looking fellas.
But we took the chance. All for this 365 Project!
So anyway... the willow photo was rubbish. The trees looked filthy and the river even more so.
No surprise there.
As I turned to head back to the car and resort to another plan for my 365, I bumped into a rugged-looked man.
To say the temperature dropped another 10 degrees would be an understatement.
Husband was too far from me.
It was just me and ruggedy-face.
Along the Ncandu River.
I could already see the Advertiser's front page next week. 'EDITOR DUMPED IN NCANDU RIVER'. That probably wouldn't fit; EDITOR DUMPED.
I exaggerate.
Thank goodness.
Ruggedy-face wasn't all that scary and just wanted to do some fishing along the bank. Of course, this fascinated the husband and he landed up chatting to the man about the barbels Ruggedy was about to catch in the filthy river.
What would he use to catch the barbel? Earthworms.
So while husband went, "Ah! Cool!", I went, "Ah, let me see..." and snapped them up with my camera. 365 Project sorted for the day.

Kinda gross, I know.
But at least I lived to share it.

365 Project | Day 87 | I know, right?
Do you know how difficult it is photographing something this delicious?
Seriously, whatever you're planning for supper comes no where near to this.
Ohhhhh myyyy wwoooorrddd!
This is one of Posh Nosh's most highly recommended dishes and cannot be matched by anyone.
It's the kind of meal that makes your tummy smile! It's the exact dish that has made hundreds of tummies smile.
Posh Nosh Boerekos
Chicken and Mushroom Pie
Rice
Pumpkin Fritters with cinnamon sugar (Another legendary Posh Nosh side dish)
Green bean bredie with potatoes and onions. (Ah! It's soooo good!)
Garnished with fresh herbs. (Literally. I saw Chef Koot pick them.)
Posh Nosh Cafe prides itself in being a kitchen away from home. Dishes like bobotie, beef and beer pie, beef goulash, curries, crumbed pork chops and the most delicious creamy green beans are all served regularly. Every day is something different. They're all favourites and I think this is just one of the reasons why Posh Nosh is so unbelievably popular.
That and their good food, great value and chocolate brownies.
Of course, there is so much more that is so unique and special about Posh Nosh but I think it's best you rather visit it yourself.
Posh Nosh Cafe is situated at Riverside Service Station, 34 Albert Wessels Drive or you can contact them (did you know they do take aways? Ka-ching! Husband will think you slaved in the kitchen all day!) on 034 375 6642/ 034 375 6642.
They also do incredible platters and cakes.

365 Project | Day 86 | Posh Nosh Muffin Lovin'
Today was crazy. After the normal Wednesday rush of planning and putting the Newcastle Advertiser together, my team and I put together another 20 page newspaper.
Exhausted is an understatement. (And they're still going by the way, tweeting the Mayor's budget speech to the town - they deserve a treat!)
So anyway... there I was absolutely starving, completing layout of our agricultural newspaper when I remembered, with much horror, my 365 Project!
Fortunately, Jana (lifesaver) had delivered two perfectly delicious muffins to the office and I just hadn't seen them yet!
Thanks Posh Nosh for today's treat - they're delicious! Yip... I'm eating one of them right now. I think I earned it.

365 Project | Day 85 | Heavenly Brownies
Ah two of my favourite things! Chocolate brownies from Posh Nosh Café and fresh cut lavender!
Who can resist a slice of Koot's chocolate brownies?
This is the ultimate sweet confection for any chocoholic and a little treasure piece that Posh Nosh whips up to get everyone coming back for more.
I have never really considered myself a major chocolate lover but man alive, this stuff is delicious! It's the richest, gooiest, choclatiest (ahem) piece of Heaven EVAAAA!
Remember to follow Posh Nosh Café on Facebook.

365 Project | Day 84 | Posh Nosh, For Sure!
I was recently contacted by Jana Vorster ( from the Holi powder family photoshoot) - the mastermind creative mind behind Horse Shoe Guest Farm and Posh Nosh Cafe.
Jana is full of brilliant ideas and this may just be one of her best yet (for me at least).
Posh Nosh Cafe, owned by her uncle and Newcastle's most loved chef, Koot has sponsored my 365 Project for the week!
This means... No last minute run-around to find something to photograph or no sleepless nights stressing about the next photo of the day (I'm not even kidding). But it also means more than just that...
What it means, is a meal/treat every day for the next week to photograph! Yes please! How could I possibly ever say no?
So from fruit, to food. This is the first of this week's 365 Project | Food theme.
And what better way to start off with than with a healthy-serving (read gigantic) slice of delicious carrot cake. I promised my husband he could have this slice after I was done photographing but thought I'd have to have a taste to at least give you all an honest review.
A few bites later (!) and I can, without hesitation, say that this was the most deliciously spicy and moist carrot cake I've ever scoffed down!
Mmmm... delicious! Go get yourself a slice. Trust me.
Ps. Follow Posh Nosh Cafe on Facebook <---- click click <---- to see (drool over) what's on the menu daily. They've got a competition coming up soon too!
365 Project | Day 82 - 83
There aren't enough hours in a day. I've been loaded with work lately but not that I am complaining.
Loads coming up on the blog including two stunning engagement shoots and a wedding as well as a massive announcement for my 365 Project!
These two pics round up my fruit week. Thanks to those who nominated a fruit.
