edit data

Gerry Pelser is a photographer, writer, and Reluctant Widower living in the suburbs of Johannesburg, South Africa. He has two super-cool Hungarian Puli puppies, and a stuffed baby petite hippo named Felicity (Don’t ask).

He is passionate about story-telling, teaching, and absolutely infatuated with photographic lighting. He spends way too much time on social media, and has an unhealthy obsession with beer, chicken wings, and cricket. He plays chess with his father twice a week, where loses hard and often. He worships at the church of Charles Schulz, and sees Charlie Brown as his spirit animal.

I’ve been the target of a smear campaign by an alleged dominatrix trying to muddy my name. She is leaving several one-star reviews on my books to bring the ratings down. Some of my one-star reviews may be justified - I’m okay with that. Not everyone ...more
