Suicide

A man climbed a power pylon in Kempton Park, Gauteng. Police believed he wanted to jump after he was dumped by his girlfriend, but after a few hours the police managed to talk him down.

Yes, I know, it's been a while...

It's been a while since I updated my blog, I guess the hangover of the World Cup lasted longer than expected...
No, not really, I've just been lazy and also having a hell of a time figuring out how to upload photos on the new version of Blogger. Anyhow, I'm back now and have uploaded a few pics of some of the things I've photographed since the World Cup.
