Sorry for the extended downtime; things have been kinda hectic around El Ranchero de 5-1-2 lately.
Our loosely- planned and under- funded adventures through Africa have been put on a temporary hold, as Justice and I have been forced to settle down to begin post- production on our documentaries. Our second G5 has arrived, giving us a top- of- the- line machine for each project, and our collective hard drive space has nearly reached a terabyte (940 gigs). I think our raw computing power now rivals any other outfit on this whole continent...
My room has been converted into a time- lapse photography studio, and I am shooting week- long sequences of growing plants as an added visual element for my film. The consequence is that the whole apartment now reeks of fertilizer, but I'm getting used to it...
Justice, meanwhile, has finished up with election coverage and is also starting to hack away at his raw footage in Final Cut Pro (President Mbeki, by the way, was re-elected with a 70% majority). Anyway, he should be posting a full project update will still frames and all in the near future.
In other news, Justice's father has dropped into Johannesburg for a little visit. He's just settling in now, but is probably going to accompany us on a few of our excursions within the next few weeks. It looks like Swaziland will be one destination, both for vacation and to get a little footage for my film. Assuming we can find an internet cafe, this blog will then have seen action in five countries.
As a final item on our list, I celebrated my 20th birthday yesterday. First time I've ever represented April 24th outside of the States, which was nice. Had some seafood, a few drinks... Definitely high up there in the D. Luke Fitch Birthday Hall of Fame. Well, I think that's a sufficient entry to top of this list of excuses for our week- long absence from tBlog, which means my work here is done. Peace out, until next time.

Hi Luke! Happy Birthday...you're no longer a teenager...feel it? You're into the most productive decade of your life, maybe, or at least the decade of creativity...keep going, and whatever you two do, don't underestimate the time it will take to polish the editting of those docs!! I will continue to publicize your efforts stateside now that I have a letter of introduction for the performance piece from Justice!
Peace and productivity,
Gina
