About Me

My photo
Cape town, Western Cape, South Africa
My name is Ricky d.Johnson, a photographer from Bridgetown on the dusty skirts of the Cape flats ,Cape town.Im married with a lovely wife call Melissa Faith Johnson for 5yrs & together we two lovely boys Logan, Israel & one on its way. As long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed the magic and memories that photos are able to create. I love to capture the essence of emotion, to freeze time and be able to revisit memories. I like to take pictures that are meaningful. Pictures that put you in the moment, that allow you to share in the sheer happiness of a special time, take in the excited looks of a child, or even experience the serenity of a peaceful day. I am excited to take this opportunity to share my thoughts and my work. I can only hope that you enjoy my photos as much as I love taking them!

why im excited about Nokia world 2011

Well one of my main reasons is that im a huge fan of Nokia & i always wanted to know who started Nokia,where does it generate from & how did the name came about?

Secondly, i think its every young person's dream to go to London & especially if you are from the dusty streets of the Cape flats,Cape town, South-Africa where i come from where dreams are shattered due too circumstances however i wont allow my circumstances determine where i want too be in life. It will be an honor to see the Nokia world & just to experience life in London.
It would be something that i can bring home and share my experience with other young people that think that there is no hope for them in this world to fulfill their dreams,I would be an example too them.
Who knows what Nokia world can do too other young or old individuals around the world.
I trust that my post would be considered.Hope too see you in London:-)

My experience @RlabsZA

Since the new space of Rlabs has started, a lot of excitement was in the air. Rlabs is moving into there own space which photos was uploaded on facebook, twitter, on various blogs of the members of the Rlabs team members.
Since the growing of the incubator has started i have been following the progress of the "new space".
And wow!!what a transformation it is,the place look very modern, stunning and  of course, the aroma of lovely coffee in the place.

 For the past two days i've been here at the Rlabs space i've learn such alot of social media by just observing of the staff  & what they are putting in this company.I think they key thing at Rlabs is passion, and the passion is that they 
 create an interaction space for collaborative design, creation, dissemination and application of knowledge
- To develop and empower champions in communities through innovation
- To give hope and make a difference
- To be leaders in innovation continuously adding value 


My motto for this particular blogpost is, "you can learn alot by just observing"
