Represent ♥’s Everyday Tweeple – Meet @dcuthbert
Uhh, no that’s not @dcuthbert on the horse, however, that is one of Durban’s finest photographers Daniel Cuthbert’s photos. Did that make sense and were my apostrophes in the correct place? Moving on…Meet @dcuthbert, freaking talented photographer from Durbs you’all… his twisted tweets caught our ever-roaming eye – so he’s the 4th bastard agent in our Represent ♥’s Everyday Tweeple series. Next up… a lady in CT… follow us on @sisiwami to keep up. (PS: Daniel’s the dude in the desert) Location: L’Afrique du Sud Web: http://hmmm.co.za Bio: Documentary photographer currently based in South Africa How come you get to check out so many transit lounges all the time and why can’t we do it too? I think it’s an internal need to be surrounded by so many badly dressed travelers with poor choices in luggage and footwear. It takes a strong person to do this, not for the faint. Why Durban? It has the best balance out of all the cities. Jozi is like a spotty angry teenager, full of spunk and often no substance. Cape Town is your 22 year-old who thinks they know it all but underneath, the soul is cold as hell. Durban is just, well, hundreds! Why should we Rethink the Afrikaaner? Since ’94, the emphasis has been on reconciliation and often this means forgetting about anything white-related. The true Afrikaner is a tribe in Southern Africa and part of our heritage, so we shouldn’t dismiss them as South Africans often do. What top 6 soft music songs would you recommend to accompany a bottle of vodka? The Cinematic Orchestra (any song by them) Seasick Steve – Happy (to have a job) Portishead – Chase the tear Sigur Ros – Saeglopur Jack Parow – Cooler as ekke We sense a bit of anti-I-pod/I-pad/i-phone … whyyyy? Don’t get me wrong, i’ve been a big apple fan for a very long time but recent events have seen them turn into the microsoft of this decade. The iPad is expensive for what it is, a fat iPhone, and yet it’s billed as the second coming. I think they’ve moved away from the “Think Different” approach no longer applies to Apple and it’s rather sad. Tell us about what South African broadband providers SHOULD be doing? Stop treating the SA public like retards. Telkom and other suppliers have done more damage to SA’s growth as a nation than any other country out there. The fact that the Internet is still a middle-class luxury in 2010 is insulting. Remove the pathetic caps and get people online and learning. R20 a month to have a 3gb cap, that way everyone...
We will be back!
