At Christmas my thoughts turn to people who have died this year - in South Africa and around the world.
I've been to more than thirty funerals in Cape Town this year.
In March 2006, photographer Gordon Parks died aged 93. I was lucky to meet him 2 years ago in his New York apartment. He was truly inspiring - since he excelled in so many disciplines besides photography.
Wherever you are ..
Merry Christmas.
