GCSB Bill Protest Wellington Part 3… The Final
Last post from the GCSB protest on last weekend in Wellington.
These ones were taken on a Nikon FG20 which I bought from an Op Shop for $35. The film is also 8 years expired which gives it a bit of flaring and blocking out of the blacks.
I quite liked the effect as its not your usual super sharp, super well exposed documentary photos we are use to seeing.

Hi My Name Is Simon…
Posts have been a bit far apart of late and to be perfectly honest I have been out taking a whole heap of images, partly because its winter and cold outside.
I have just invested in a set of studio lights (Bowens Gemini 750s with batteries) and haven’t really had them out of there case since I got them 🙂 The double garage under the house is being roughly converted to a studio space and eventually I should start setting up some shoots there. I am however excited by the prospect of taking the lights out to some urbex locations to shoot some portraits but really need the weather to be a bit more settled.
I went out for the first time to shoot street yesterday and although I didn’t take any images I’m going to try and get out at least once a week.
Anyway hopefully this means a few more images to come onto the blog.
Here is a shot from a couple of months ago from Fergus as I was just starting to get bits and peices set up…

Melissa And Ilford Delta 3200
Here goes some shots from last weekends shoot with Melissa, Alicia and Renee.
These are from my F5 that was loaded with Ilford Delta 3200 Film and were possibly the only images that really looked like I saw them in my head. I only started using it near the end of the shoot rather than reloading my RZ67 and Rolleiflex.
Sometimes you just cant really beat using film 🙂

Photgraphy For Good Not Evil
Recently I submitted a framed photo for the Phil Jacobs Benefit . Phil is one of the few camera repair people left in Wellington and sadly he has become seriously sick which has put a major financial strain on his family.
I have had my Rolleiflex fixed by Phil on numerous occasions and he has always gone out of his way to help me out.
They had a live auction last Friday for some of the prints and the rest have gone on TradeMe (NZ equivalent of Ebay).
Anyway if you want to buy a nice framed, darkroom printed shot of one of the founding fathers of Wellington’s statue overseeing repairs done to a street light then now is your chance, unfortunately I think bidding is restricted to NZ only… Anyway the auction is Here go have a look 🙂

More Holga Panos
Sorry have been a bit slack putting up posts of late… Youngest daughter is in “constant stream of talking” mode which makes it a bit hard to concentrate for longer than more than 3 seconds (she has interrupted 3 times just in this sentence).
This combined with 7 rolls of film sitting round waiting to be developed means I having been getting on with things as much as I probably should…
Anyhow here goes some more shots from the Holga Pano camera I converted 🙂 Enjoy.

Japanese Festival Drumming
A couple of weeks ago I came across this Japanese festival in Civic Square while randomly walking round. The drummers were just setting up so I stuck around to shoot a few pictures…
