Some of my latest work @ Avenue House Design

Noel Harrison — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 16:20:57 +0000

I have been working with a close friend of mine over the last few weeks to open a design studio in Cape Town. All is on schedule and we should be operational from the end of November 2011.

The services we offer are; graphic design, website design and development, hosting solutions, search engine optimisation, printing and corporate identity consulting.

Anyway, below is a screenshot of the design that I have been working on.

Enjoy!

This evening a friend of mine and I went for a walk in the Meadows, Noordhoek. I took a few photos which turned out rather nicely – see them below.

Realisations and happenings of late 2010 / early 2011

Noel Harrison — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 08:51:46 +0000

The last few weeks have been a very eventful few. It has been a time for many positive things / changes in life – in fact all positive (well this post will only cover the positives – no need for me to grunt about my problems ).

Firstly, I met my biological mother a few days before the new year. After over 13 years of no contact in any form – this was most definitely one of the highest points in my life. I had never really imagined this day – I guess I thought it would never come.

For me, I was able to have a number of questions answered, a number of personality features were highlighted – small things and then also a number of rather larger things. I’ve been spending great amount of times with her lately – I guess there is just so much to catch up on and so much to get to know. It really has been so very exciting. Possibly one of the best gifts someone could get around Christmas time.

I am very keen to see where this goes and to continue a good relationship with her in the future. (See photos below).

On a less eventful note, I have always been a very pro conservative kind of person. However I got speaking to a friend of mine, who listened to what I felt were my political views.

This friend has studied political science and works as a political strategist at the Cape Independent. After listening to my views, he informed me that I am more of a Classic Liberal. I did some reading later that evening – and it turns out that the views that I hold are in fact not entirely conservative – but in fact fall into the more Classic Liberal park.

Shock and horor?

Not really. For me politics is very important – especially in relation to Economics. The Classical Liberal view on economic is inline with those that I have adopted as my own. I will most likely be posting a little more on this a little later this month.

I think is about all I have to say for this moment.

The Lighter Side of Life :)

Today I wanted to take a few photos – so I got the camera and looked what was on it. Now understand im not home all the much – so I had no idea what had been happening at home, but as I looked through some of the photos that one of my other family members took – I realised that we had some visitors. Im not going to say they were cute – because frankly – they are darn ugly

Also, I found a few nice shots from the garden. So enjoy.

Photos: 10 January 2010

I had some new picture taken for 2010 today. Here are my favorite ones. I know they are all of me – but this is “www.noelharrison.net” – so what do you expect?

Introducing Music I Like

Noel Harrison — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:25:07 +0000

So today I was sitting and thinking how much I love music, my first idea was to blog the lyrics – but that was not the ideal for me. So the solutions to this is to release an article “Music I Like” once a week with one of my favorite songs accompanied by a video / slide show of images from the week.

The first one can be seen below. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them.

Beautiful Day in Cape Town: 29 December 2009

Noel Harrison — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 08:06:26 +0000

So today (or more accurately – this morning), I was lying in bed and could see the sun was bright! So when I opened my curtains, I saw just how beautiful today was. After lazing around for a little, I got up and went into the olive grove and took the picture below;

Another Image – “They tell a story of a journey that is yet to be completed”

Noel Harrison — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 06:19:27 +0000

Hello,

Here is another image edit that I did. It was an image that I took with some friends and well, I found this one in particular amazing! Why?

The background is blurred (naturally – no digital editing)
Nature is present in the form of the blurred grass in the background, but also in the granite(y) kind of rock under the feet
The feet – Amazing as they display the prints of the toes wonderfully – lies of a journey and on the leg you can see a foot bracelet made out of string which adds a natural toning to the image

Well now that I have explained why I like the original image so much, here is my edited version of “the feet”;

Tell me what you think, room for improvement? Where? Let me know.

Enjoy,

Noel Harrison
