Girl In Window
As I was walking past this window I noticed the girl inside doing alterations to a pair of jeans. She looked so happy I just had to take a shot… A polarizing filter would have been handy to take some of the reflection off the window but since I dont have one for Rollei it wasnt an issue.
She spotted me just after I took the photo and gave me a wave 🙂

Diver
Prepping for a dive… Not sure if this was a training dive or something to do with checking the piles under the pier which is soon to be redeveloped…

Happy 20th Isobel and Sleeper
I have been trying to get an image of this piece of graffiti for about a week (it’s gone now) but with the light I hadn’t had any luck with framing it up. Saturday I noticed this sleeper but when I first saw him there were a whole bunch of people drinking next to him who I thought might be his friends so I decided not to shoot it since drunk friends usually take an exception to people taking images of their passed out comrades.
I went round the block and came back to find the so-called friends just leaving so managed to get this shot. I could have got closer but liked this composition best as it incorporated a piece of graffiti (now gone) as well as the sleeper themselves.
I have no idea who Isobel is…

Pajamas On The Waterfront
I came across these girls (and guy obscured on the airbed) a couple of Mondays ago. They were filming something but it was after the 48 Hour movie competition had finished so I’m not really sure what they were filming for. I love the expression from the girl on the left, she was probably wondering why some guy with a small person on his back was taking her photo 🙂

Parliament Of Rooks
When I saw this image on the street I immediately thought of a Parliament of Rooks or a Murder of Crows. In New Zealand we don’t have any Crows or Rooks, the closest we have is a Magpie which is much smaller and white and black as opposed to just being black.
It kind of has that sinister feel like they are about to descend and obliterate the artist… Maybe that’s just me…
