At the cinema
A wedding in a movie cinema, well how cool can that be! You don’t have to worry about the weather for starters, indoor seating for everyone, plenty of popcorn to go round and the Mayfair Theatre on the Esplanade at Kaikoura makes a serious Art Deco fashion statement. A wedding at a movie cinema – [...]
2009 Desk Calendars now ready
We’re organised this year and have 2009 desk calendars all ready for shipping to overseas family and friends. These calendars are always popular, great when you’re travelling, easy to post away to folks who live far away, or just a nice reminder of your trip to Kaikoura.

A Chilly winter wedding
The guys live in Auckland and came to our town to enjoy our beautiful scenery and balmy winter days while celebrating their wedding with family and friends. Well that didn’t quite happen, we woke up to snow showers and sub Antarctic wind chill. It didn’t dampen spirits one bit, these guys were here to enjoy themselves and [...]
Winter’s here
We’re in the depths of winter, there’s snow on every peak in sight, the ocean is angry after a big storm and the sky is grey and bleak. The cold southerly wind doesn’t bother going around you but chills you to the bone. A walk around the Kaikoura peninsula is spectacular …. got to love [...]
Contemplating
I’m just setting up some gear ready for the weekend, it’s going to be a goodie at Kaikoura – Trash to Fashion show, we didn’t have one last year and I’m overdue for a fix. Watch this space after the weekend…..
Goin hard at Kaikoura
I’ve always enjoyed car racing, have never done it except around the cow paddocks in the ute, but the sounds, smells and excitement of racing can make people come for miles. I’ve photographed the Kaikoura Queens birthday speedway for a year or two now and it’s a project I look forward to, it’s always exciting [...]
Going for a stroll at Kaikoura
There are plenty of places to stretch your legs, enjoy the scenery and breath the sea air at Kaikoura, whether it’s a 10 minute stroll or something a bit more ambitious. Very accessible and always worth a look is the peninsula walk from South Bay, get to the end of the road at South Bay [...]
Where’s that damned gallery?
It’s been a bit of an ongoing saga, juggling time between being out making photos and spending time in the gallery where folks can peruse the images I make. Volunteers for gallery manning duties are a bit scarce in this busy little town, particularly in the summer when helpers are at a premium. The good [...]
Pretty damned good lifestyle
I guess it’s why we live here really. Its all about lifestyle, it has to be good when the ocean sings a lullaby that makes you sleep at night and it can’t be all bad when you are one of the first to see the sun on a new day. Although, I have to admit, [...]
A brand new running (or walking) event.
I don’t do running, the thought of plodding countless miles makes my head spin. I’ve tried it a few times and even have a pair of running shoes in my cupboard from the last attempt, it’s just not me. I’d rather sit on a skinny bike seat for hours or walk all day than do [...]
The great 2007 lunar rip off
I’m not a compulsive stargazer, but I am fascinated by things celestial. It comes from the days of being a kid brought up in an isolated rural place and the light of the night was the stars. We used to lie on our backs in the grass for hours and fascinate ourselves with the vastness of the universe. I never did [...]
