The experiences and photography of Grant Pitcher
Over the past 3 months or so I have had the privilege of being involved with showcasing one of the elite girls’ high schools in the Durban area – Danville Park Girls’ High School. I have experienced a school steeped in tradition with an incredible ethos and drive for quality education. The facilities could rival any private school and their newly built Indoor Sports … [Read more...]
The Amphitheatre in the KZN Drakensberg is a special place for me and I headed back there for a 3 day hike in July 2012 for some more exploration after not having been in that region of the Berg for nearly 3 years. I would like to thank my beautiful wife for her grace in allowing me freedom to set out on this adventure during such a busy period in our lives. It was mostly a … [Read more...]
I recently had the privilege of showcasing the festivities of the Pegasus Lounge at the Vodacom Durban July for 2012 - horse racing at its best. Although there was a major upset in the feature race, it did not dampen the spirits of those intent of a great day at the races. See below an overview of the event. … [Read more...]
Inspired by the love of good food and incredible coffee aromas and flavour, I really enjoy the commissions to showcase coffee shops and speciality restaurants. In my ability to beautifully capture the interior finishes, combined with the added skill in seeking out the detail of the chef's dishes and the precise barista process, you'll realize how this detailed imagery can then … [Read more...]
Each year since 2008 now I've tried to make sure I undertake at least one, if not two, multi-day hiking trips to the Drakensberg mountain range in South Africa. Winter is normally best for weather conditions and it's great to experience the colder climate that we don't normally feel in Durban. Our trip up to Giants Castle peak in May 2012 sure lived up to expectations. The … [Read more...]
There are numerous indoor games that I really enjoy participating in to keep me entertained with friends. I like to think of myself a quite a social person and enjoy it when I can mix with mates on an interpersonal level so it's great when the lads can get together and share stories over a few beers and a game of sorts to keep the hours of the evening ticking over. Table … [Read more...]
Vancouver is not assigned the label of one of the world's most desirable cities in which to live for no reason. This city certainly has some of the most spectacular scenery and architectural beauty a metropolis could offer. With mountains on two sides and the sea on another this port city has everything to offer an architectural photographer like myself giving me a sense of … [Read more...]
A Springbok Rugby test match against the Wallabies or the All Blacks is always an event not to miss. The atmosphere in the stadium is sensational, especially since these are normally sell-out games. I got the privilege of being invited the HDi Group and Pantech box at Kingspark Stadium, Durban to watch the showdown between Australia and South Africa ... what a treat - the Boks … [Read more...]

Last week I had a major mishap with my spectacles and they ended becoming ex-spectacles! I thus had to head off to the optometrist and organise a new pair and while I was at it I decided to have an eye test which I hadn't done for just under 2 years. My other glasses were desperately in need of replacement too, as the frames were way too loose and the lenses badly scratched ... … [Read more...]
