The guys took to the stage and Killed everything in there path.
Giving us a sweet taste of things to come as they say goodbye to the D-frost name, making way for the bigger and better, with a fresh new take on this four man super band!

LeFrost By Me.

Two of the most amazing, talented and beautiful people I know,Nick Frost and Lefras or Bob kindly obliged in my most recent shoot.
take a look let me know what you think, I've learnt a lot since I shot this so looking forward to the next shoot.

Yes, No? we'll see... Have a lot more on its way.

Fresh ideas, amped! haven't had a response from the "Belter With Brains" completion with Mr Cape Town and Sivan Miller yet but still holding thumbs, the last big of feedback I received things looked good. Lets hope...

Have a crazy cool week, and thanks for taking a look. Beth

my current delema...

So Its the 26th of January 2010, The Frost and I are having our 4 year Anniversary.

" Happy Anniversary My Love...

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows -

(Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;

which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

- and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart:

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

Your more than i deserve. i love you "

I'm not going through to town with him this morning. I wake up to give him a kiss and wish him then fall back asleep.

Woke up around 10h20 chilled till round 11h20 reading,drinking coffee. I move from bed to the laptop more coffee, music, smokes, Mary came round for a visit she was super sweet, stayed awhile.

Now i'm sitting here because I need to write my submission for the Belter with Brains competition with photographer Sivan Miller and Mr Cape Town. I need to write a page on why I think I deserve the grand prize of a 10 shot modeling portfolio by Sivan Miller himself!
A photographer who's work I have admired and observed religiously from both a model and photographers perspective.
He turns everything in his lens to gold... here is but a taste, go to Sivan Miller for more.

AHHHH!!! so you can imagine how badly i want to make my submission effective and worthy.
I'm hoping that blogging about it will help me write it, get me in the flow, I think it may be working.... (she smirks as she jams out to the Black Keys - i'll be your man).

I've always battled to give someone a reason to pick me from a sea of others, But lets see if i can go find one.
I'll keep you posted.

Go check out Hurts - Evelyn listen to the whole album, its fantastic!
Live to win. JBP

Downfalls & Festivals.

So i posted my previous blog without much description or news from my side, and i know I've been slacking when it comes to keeping it fresh here on my little piece of this vast cyber space plateau.

As most of you know i was selected for the FHM top 100 models 2011, the votes closed on the 15 th of December on the 16th the top 10 where announced, i was not one of them, just didn't make the cut.
I probably could have done more but hey thats how we learn.
Would like to again thank all of you who voted means so much to me, your support my friends was overwhelming.

The other news... in my previous blog i posted a bunch of photographs i took backstage at Synergy of Flash republic it was such a highlight for me, was so excited with my results.
I had never been to a synergy before, there where a few glitches when it came to schedules and sound at stages, but overall I was so impressed, the turn out was extreme, the venue layout and design was awesome, and the line up did not disappoint in the least.

Here are some photo's of the guys and i at the festival.

I dont quite now how to explain the last image but things like this happen when your at synergy.

We lived it up at the VIP tent area with nothing close to VIP sleeping arrangements however all the other necessary elements where there ;)

In other news.. well you just wait and see :) JBP

Decided to give my own bit of praise to the following female vocalists.

You know when you hear a song and your insides go all gooey, you get all emotional and have 'your moment'.

"SHHHH...... IM LISTENING TO MY SONG"

These are mine at the moment, and two of them are South African i may add... HHOORRAAA!

Imogen Heap - Hide & Seek

where are we?

what the hell is going on?

the dust has only just begun to form

crop circles in the carpet

sinking feeling

spin me round again

and rub my eyes,

this can't be happening

when busy streets a mess with people

would stop to hold their heads heavy

hide and seek

trains and sewing machines

all those years

they were here first

oily marks appear on walls

where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,

the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek

trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here)

blood and tears (hearts)

they were here first

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmm that you only meant well?

well of course you did

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmmm that it's all for the best?

of course it is

Mmmm whatcha say?

Mmmm that it's just what we need

you decided this

whatcha say?

Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth

mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

speak no feeling no I don't believe you

you don't care a bit,

you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth

mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)

speak no feeling no i don't believe you

you don't care a bit,

you don't care a (you don't care a) bit

(hide and seek)

oh no, you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)

oh no, you don't care a bit

you don't care a bit

Florence and the Machine - Heavy in your arms

I was a heavy heart to carry

My beloved was weighed down

My arms around his neck

My fingers laced to crown.

I was a heavy heart to carry

My feet dragged across ground

And he took me to the river

Where he slowly let me drown

My love has concrete feet

My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles

Over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy

Heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy, heavy

Heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait

All this killing time?

Are you strong enough to stand

Protecting both your heart and mine?

Who is the betrayer?

Who's the killer in the crowd?

The one who creeps in corridors

And doesn't make a sound

My love has concrete feet

My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles

Over the waterfall

My love has concrete feet

My love's an iron ball

Wrapped around your ankles

Over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy

Heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy, heavy

So heavy in your arms

This will be my last confession

I love you never felt like any blessing

(Ohhhh)

Whispering like it's a secret

musicjuzz.blogspot.com

Only to condemn the one who hears it

With a heavy heart

Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms

(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms

I was a heavy heart to carry

my beloved was weighed down

My arms around his neck

My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry

But he never let me down

When he had me in his arms

My feet never touched the ground

I'm so heavy, heavy in your arms.

Heavy, i'm so heavy in your arms.

Sia - My love

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release

You gave it all, into the call
You took a chance and
You took a fall for us

You came thoughtfully, loved me faithfully
You taught me honor, you did it for me

Tonight you will sleep for good (?)
You will wait for me my love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all anekatips
You gave all you had and now I am home (?)

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I'll be with you
Sia - My Love - Eclipse lyrics-celebrities.anekatips.com

You took my hand added a plan
You gave me your heart
I asked you to dance with me

You loved honestly
Did what you could release
Aaaahhh oooh

I know you're pleased to go
I won't relieve this love (?)

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, I'll be with you
oooooohh ooooh
Du du du ooooooh

Skunk Anasie - Secretly

I've been biding my time

Been so subtly kind

I got to think so selfishly

'Cos you're the face inside of me

I've been biding my days

U see evidently it pays

I've been a friend

With unbiased views

Then secretly lust after you

So now he's gone rusty

You're bored and bemused

You wanna do someone else

So you should be by yourself

Instead of here with me

Secretly

Trying hard to think pure

Bloody hard when I'm raw

You talking out so sexually

'bout boys 'n girls and your friggin' dreams

So now you feel lusty

You're hot and confused

So now you've been busted

You're caught feeling used

You had to do someone else

You should've been by yourself

Instead of here with me

Secretly

Lark - Brave

Enjoy ladies.
Men, your tribute soon :)

On The Outskirts of Khayelitsha

The Boom town film crew and myself headed out to Nkanini in Khayelitsha earlier this year to cast some of the locals and do some location scouting for an upcoming PSA.
Driving in not knowing what to expect at all, we parked in an open piece of land covered with sand, we unpacked all of our camera equipment and started chatting to the necessary people for permission to shoot.
Its pretty daunting going into a township not knowing anyone, not being able to communicate except for my very limited Zulu vocabulary, holding a big camera!Now having to connect with complete strangers, a different culture and get them to allow me to photograph them.They welcomed me with open arms, especially the children.They danced, sang, ran around after us, loved the camera, I'd sit down for a second and would be surrounded with children.
All filled with the excitement of what was going there was the greatest vibe amoung us all.

It was the best two days I have ever experienced in the time i have been a photographer, I can't wait to go back.
Here are afew of the Photographes
