Emigration! Yikes where to start?
An emotional whirlwind that needs a lot of energy and organisation! What an interesting job – I met Bridget just before they were emigrating to Sweden. Imagine packing up your SA life and heading to a new country. Bridget brought boxes, albums, slides, and negatives, as well as a gorgeous poster given as a gift…
“Write the photograph” Inspiration from author and artist Terry Angelos
Last week I went to East Coast Radio’s Home and Garden show – it was fantastic to be back at the Exhibition centre, no masks and loads of people! A glimpse of the good old days…. After grabbing a delicious coffee from N2, my Mom and I headed to the Garden -Lifestyle Theatre to listen…
Comic Life – Hong Kong Family Holiday
A few years ago after returning from an awesome trip to Korea via Hong Kong, I designed a travel photobook in a comic style. Asia is famous for Manhwa 만화 in Korean (Manga 漫画 in Japanese) – my children loved it, so the style seemed perfect. I love the way the photos can be manipulated and text…
Networking | KZN Women in Business
I have been a member of KZN WIB since 2007! That’s over 14 years on and off…. This week I received a 7-year consecutive membership certificate at our last meeting for 2021. So let me reminisce…. My husband and I returned to South Africa from Korea in 2005 and started na-nu-ja, which was the first…

Thank you | Kamsahamnida
Wow, we are absolutely blown away by the support we have received – it is almost impossible to individually thank each and every person who has wished us, called, donated, and stood beside us during this surreally strange time. KJ’s all-time favourite movie is LOVE ACTUALLY – he loves the scene where the one character…
Burnt to Ashes
Kwangjeon finally made his way to na-nu-ja and Fotomax’s shop this morning, to assess the extent of the damage caused by looters and vandalists. It was absolutely heartbreaking. The only item to remain ironically was the padlock to our front door, which welcomed so many loyal clients since we moved here in 2012. KJ took…
A plea to help save na-nu-ja
Kwangjeon and I arrived from Korea in 2005, with specialised equipment and a dream to help people “share memories” by opening na-nu-ja a photobook company in Durban, my hometown.
