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!

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"

Tying the knot






Look to God


As we reflect on our daily lives we realise that everyday is a gift from God and we need to look to God and to God only. Its only through His grace that we are alive today,inhale fresh & listening to the sound of the birds,wind & the rain.
Look to God when there are needs in your life.He satisfies like calm sheep grazing in the afternoon sun,you will find fulfillment for you soul & contentment. How often to we reflect on our childhood lives, they we grew up in a certain society & thought too yourself,wow i never knew i will make it through life.Guess what by you reading this blog you made it & with that i want to congratulate you for succeeding life thus far. God has a plan for your life & don't forget that.Let us always reflect and think back about our/your achievements in life.Let us LOOK TO GOD (Philipains 4:19,20)
