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. Calendars are 16 cm X 10.5 cm with [...]
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 [...]
Trash Fashion 2008
What a way cool show! I was so excited I could hardly wait for it to start Friday night, two nights of show and a day photographing incredible fashion creations – too good. We were wowed by a constant parade of fashion and grooving models on Friday and Saturday night, but during the day on [...]
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 [...]
Making an itty bitty bit of difference.
I made a 25,140.00 Indian rupee TT last Friday, no I didn’t get scammed by one of those emails that shows up every second day and I didn’t buy anything off ebay. It was annual school fee sponsorship for a girl who goes to Lamdon Model School at Leh, Ladakh up in the Indian Himalayas. [...]
Over the Coast – part II
Speaking of Karamea, if you’re overdue for a trip out of town for some fresh air, new sights and sounds or whatever, here’s a place you could consider. Marg and Roger have a really smart, brand new retreat right at Karamea. Marg’s cooking is legendary to all who have experienced it as is her flair [...]
Over the Coast
It should be done more often. A trip to the West Coast is soul cleansing, relaxing and inspirational. The vast bush and wild beaches seem to soothe you to a state of good feeling. The laid back lifestyle makes you wonder what the big hurry is, unpretentious people, unpretentious buildings – what you see is [...]
Cute kids, a beautiful bride and the funkiest church.
All that’s needed for a great Saturday afternoon.
These have gotta be the best camera straps there is….
I thought I had a wrist strap for my Canon G9, seems I did then I didn’t, I’m not sure, but ends up I don’t. You really need a wrist strap for these compact hi tech digi cameras that don’t have a decent viewfinder. Having a wrist strap means you can make images while holding [...]
On the Mountain
Just a wee taste of what was a stunning day on Mt Fyffe with a great looking couple. Thanks for sharing the day with me Guys, looks like some pretty cool images here икони
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 [...]
Luminance Ladakh Photography tour 2008
Planning is progressing well for a photography tour to Ladakh later in the year. This a great chance for anyone with an interest in photography to have an adventure in an amazing place. I am fortunate to have a friend of 10 years who has been operating trekking and tours in this region for around [...]
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 [...]
Almost a new Blog spot
After a few hours of do it yourself no. 8 kiwi mentality, learn as you go, pull your hair out a bit sometimes, I just about have a functioning blog here at my web site. I haven’t quite figured the navigation bar which I would like to carry through from the rest of the site, [...]
