An Ode To Jo-Mari
An Ode To Jo-Mari
"An Ode to Jo-Mari - Rawsonville, South Africa" is more than an image—it is a tribute to meaningful friendships born in unexpected places and the promise of new opportunities. Captured in the heart of South Africa’s Breedekloof Valley, this evocative photograph blends the soul of the land with the poetic quiet of analogue photography.
Rawsonville, a small wine-growing and farming town nestled on the eastern slopes of the Du Toitskloof Mountains, holds a rich legacy dating back to the mid-1800s. Once part of the historic farm Aan-de-Smalblaar, this area was shaped by pioneers like Johannes Petrus Jordaan, who laid out the original plots that would become Rawsonville in 1859. Today, it forms part of the celebrated Breedekloof Wine Route—just under an hour from Cape Town—where one can still experience the tranquillity and generosity of this close-knit community..
Lamentations 3:22-26
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”
The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly
For the salvation of the Lord.
Surrounded by the Du Toitskloof, Hex River, Slanghoek, and Langeberg mountain ranges, the valley boasts a diversity of soils and microclimates that have made it a haven for cultivating award-winning wines. In winter, snow-dusted peaks reflect the quiet beauty of the landscape, while long, golden summer days invite celebration and connection.
This image was captured on Kodak Professional Ektar 100 film with a Fuji GX 617 Panoramic medium format panoramic camera, a daylight-balanced colour-negative film known for its ultra-vivid colour palette, fine grain, and remarkable sharpness. The cinematic quality of Ektar 100, achieved through Kodak’s advanced T-GRAIN emulsion and VISION Film technology, results in an aesthetic richness and tonal depth that digital photography cannot replicate. Every detail—from the contour of a vineyard row to the gradient of sky—is rendered with clarity, subtlety, and a painterly warmth unique to analogue capture. Developed and printed with care, this piece is a true analogue work of art.
There is a look about the film that digital cannot produce. No AI—pure film and vision. Presented as an open edition for those who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and the timeless narrative of Africa through the photographic lens
This is a signed and embossed Open Edition print.

The Collections
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Every collection represents years of exploration, patience and careful craftsmanship. Some photographs are captured digitally, while others originate on traditional photographic film.
Film photographs are developed by hand before being scanned using professional equipment. Digital RAW files receive only careful tonal and colour refinement, preserving the integrity of the original photograph.
Collections are available as either Open Editions or Limited Editions, depending on the artwork.
The Triptych Collection Sizes
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Triptych Size Guide
For Triptych Collection artworks, the selected size applies consistently across all three panels.
In compositions where the side panels are portrait and the centre panel is landscape, the selected size refers to the maximum height of the artwork. For example, when A3 is selected, the two portrait side panels are produced to the A3 long dimension, and the centre landscape panel is scaled proportionally to match that same height.
Where all three panels are landscape or all three are portrait, the selected format remains consistent throughout the set — A0 is A0, A1 is A1, A2 is A2 and A3 is A3. Sizes are not mixed between panels.
Available Triptych Collection sizes: A0, A1, A2 and A3.
The Editions

Limited Editions
Limited Editions are permanently restricted to 25 prints worldwide, regardless of the size or medium selected.
Once the edition has sold out, no additional prints of that artwork will ever be produced.
Signing & Numbering
Every Limited Edition print is individually signed, embossed and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
Each print is hand-numbered—for example: 10/25
This indicates the tenth print produced from a total edition of twenty-five.
The Photographic Process
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Many CFP Prints artworks begin with traditional photographic film.
Each negative or transparency is developed by hand using carefully selected chemistry before being professionally scanned for printing. Every stage of the workflow is managed with the objective of faithfully reproducing the original photograph rather than digitally transforming it.
Every photograph represents a real moment, captured through experience, patience and light—not artificial intelligence.
