I have been hanging out at the Wellington Botanical Gardens a bit lately… The spring festival is in full swing and lets just say that its a target rich environment for all sorts of different photography…

Computer Issues: Part 2
Its been a strange week not having a working computer but hopefully I have sorted it out… I now have two working computers so are backing up everything onto removable hard drive and then see which one gives the best performance 🙂
This was what my desk looked like 30 minutes ago… Let the blogging resume!
Jacked
Dont see this happening round here much and this was on a pretty busy road… Must have been some real nice wheels!

Take Shelter Part 1
First lot of shots from Take Shelter gig on Saturday. It was held at the WW2 fortress at Palmers Head which overlooks the airport. I have to say that it was a super sweet location to have a trio of Punk bands.
I got there late and totally missed Johnny and the Felchers as well as the first half of Numbskull.
Still have some film from my Rolleiflex to develop and will hopefully have that sorted by tomorrow…
Check out the bands

this was the only shot I really got of Numbskull.
Great vantage points were to be had.
Last of all was Meth Drinker

Leaf Scan
Still shooting my way through the first roll of film since Rollei’s come back from repair. I was working at Photo Warehouse the other day and talked to a guy on the phone who wanted a scanner to use as a macro. This got me to thinking that I could use my CanoScan 9000F to shine light through stuff, like leaves… Anyway here goes my first attempt with a partially decomposed leaf I found on the steps up to my house 🙂

Things To Do While Your Rolleiflex Is Away Being Repaired #6
Photograph My Left Foot.
I just realised the other day that in the last 30 years my foot has been like this I have never actually taken a photo of it…
I was run over when I was about 8 years old, totally my fault crossing the road without looking. The back wheel of the car ran over my entire foot but skidded over the last two toes basically ripping them off. One was stitched back on and the other was just left as a stump. The doctors had been planning to take the stump off when I was older to make my foot look more normal but I like it the way it is 🙂 . I was told I would never have very good balance on this foot but after a lifetime of skiing and skating my balance is better than most people I know.
I keep forgetting that most people either don’t know or have forgotten about it… Its not a big deal its just part of who I am 🙂
This might be one of the last posts like this since I go and get Rollei back from repair this afternoon 🙂 It had its shutter fixed and a good clean and check so it should be sweet 🙂

Take Images Out Car Window
My car camera (Olympus XA3) has been getting a bit more of a workout while Rollei is away…

Nemesis
This thing has turned up in Civic Square. I have a feeling that it is going to be my new nemesis. So far I have missed about 4 shots walking past as legs are sticking out etc as I have been walking towards it that disappear as I get into shooting range. There is also no real way of hanging about without looking suspicious… Will have to wait and see…

Rebel
A sneaky shot of my friend Ben and his classic Rambler Rebel 🙂
