Things to note

Looking for a fun gift for a photographic friend or family member? Orms in Cape Town has paired up with a team of artists from Streetwires to produce a limited-edition range of beaded wire-art cameras that hark back to classic models from the past. The bespoke creations – complete with branding – sell for around R750 and all profits are channelled back into the Streetwires project. ormsphotoart.co.za There are definitive scenes around South Africa that shout summer holiday.
