FROM WHERE WE STAND
Have a date with me by pausing for 10–15 minutes to read about places I visit and people I meet and maybe it might give you the break you need from your busy life to just sit back and breathe a while.

Today’s camera market is vast and extensive. They range from point and shoot to phone and of course entry level and professional. Everyone these days can take photos and virtually all have a camera in their pocket thanks to phone technology. Yet did you realise they all have one thing in common? They cannot tell you where to stand and when to click the button. These two extremely important steps to producing a photograph is still left for us humans to decide. Therefore, the artistic concept of when you look at a photographers work you are also looking into the photographer’s To View More >>

It is so true that as we grow up our viewpoints on life change. These changes maybe because of external factors like being influenced by peers, family, new experiences. We can also change by internal factors with feelings and emotions that make us look at the same event, moment in time differently. It could be a teenager looking back on younger childhood moments and recalling them but not really understanding them so the memory is more about emotions than the facts. It could be an adult remembering their favourite place or food they tasted for the first time and how it left To View More >>

For the last eighteen months due to the rental market we opted for the alternative lifestyle of living. Together my teenage daughter and I decided to have space of our own in a caravan rather than share space in a house. We affectionately nicknamed the seventeen-foot 1970s Anglo Caravan “The Tin Can”. It was our base and we filled it with many special memories that will last a lifetime just between us. Here though I’m going to focus on how personally this alternative living style brought me closer to nature and improved my photography. To begin with the campground To View More >>

If you haven't had the chance to stand next to a powerful car doing a burnout where you not only can see the action but also feel it, smell it and be engulfed in the smoke of burning rubber then its time you did. I fell back in love with this sport almost a year ago when a room mate of mine took us to Rotarty Reunion in Taupo. It was raining and the burnout pad was wet but it was still good enough for them to do a few skids. I was elated with the feeling of a rotary engine backfiring as it felt like I was being shot right through. Since this moment of Love at To View More >>

My reigintion to the slideline of motorsports with my camera started when I took a mate to see last years Rotary ReUnion at the Bruce McLaren Motorpark in Taupo New Zealand. He was Rotary mad. It was amazing to see 320 rotary cars all together. The biggest turnout to date. While there I watched some of the New Zealand Burnout Champs hit the pit in the rain. I was immediately propelled back to my teen years in Wellington going with friends to watch the drags in Porirua and enjoying the lunchtime escapes from the college grounds to slide a few skids and more at To View More >>

Recently we advertised for anyone wishing to capture the true essense of how a friendship of a young child and thier pet can be such a pleasure to watch. Kristal Fowler approached us in regards to her wee man and their dog. We decided on meeting up at the beach in Mount Maunganui at mid to late afternoon. Having never met them before is the fun part of doing child photography. In one hour we as a photography service need to engage the child from the start and build a rapport then invite them to assist us to create images which both themselves and their parents will To View More >>
