Hi Hougaard... When I want inspiration for my own work, I visit your site... Like you, I am absolutely passionate about landscape photography and am always blown away by the beauty of our world given the different lighting conditions...I love the places you have been to and would love to hook up and chat some day... You are so right when you say that you just want to create these amazing images to allow the viewer to lose themselves in the beauty of the place through the image and to see what you saw... Each image tells such a great story... Keep up your amazing work!

Hi Hougaard
I refer to your website:
\"Kanaan is unparalleled in photographic opportunity, but not worth the money in my opinion. The accommodation is overpriced and then seeing the farm/shooting costs a lot extra. If you can pay R2500pp a day for a bed and two shoots, then by all means go!\"
I summed you up and I knew I cannot expect anything different from you! The way you treated your customer into tears several times with your arrogance and the way you blatantly lie about what you paid on Kanaan. I already expected from your character before you left Kanaan. I have the invoices open for anyone to see. You paid for Dinner, Bed and Breakfast, Two photo shoots per night and All drinks included R 1536.25 per person per day. So I think you are not only a liar - you are a big liar. nearly R 1000.00 more excluding the meals and drinks) to directly create a false impression on the internet is really typical for you. Just what I expected...
What goes around comes around. You might get away here with it... but Someone else knows you better than me...
Regards

Dear Sir,
Thank You for unveiling the secrets of the pros. Actually, we, the amateurs want to learn. Who are really interested in learning photography. We people usually don\'t find any information from the pros... They dont reveal their techniques. They think that we will copy them. But the vision is vision and it is personal. And that is what matters. Sir, I want you to have a look at work by \"Alexandre Deschaumes\", and please let us know what kind of technique he uses.
Looking forward to hear from you soon!!!
Loved the way your tutorials flow!!!
:)
