Sleeper Circa Theatre
Sleeper outside the Circa Theatre in a warm spell before all the current snow.

MG vs SUV
Crash on the corner of Victoria Street and Ghuznee Street from a couple of weeks back. This is a good example why a MG and an SUV shouldn’t play together.

Shooting The Shooters: Video
Not sure what the box in front of the camera was for… Maybe some kind of pinhole effect?

False Alarm
This has been a strange week for being in the vicinity of fire alarms going off. I think Sam and I have seen three in the last three days.
This was the first one when we were at Photo Warehouse getting more film. Since it is at the bottom of an apartment block something like five fire engines turned up and there were quite a few people who looked like they had been woken up by the alarm and weren’t too happy that it was a false alarm (I am not too sure they would have been happier if it was a real fire).

Homeless In Wellington
Seen on Manners Street… I can’t remember when I took this but it was in the last week or so. The warmer weather seems to be bringing them out of the woodwork.
I find it hard to believe that there is talk of moving them along for the rugby world cup to make the city look nice… Where are they going to move them along to?

Graffiti Spacing Fail
Spotted this on the bus shelter by the Northland Tunnel. It wasn’t the best time of day for taking this image but lucky I did since it had been painted out by the council the next day.

Shooting The Shooters Again
Protest about Burma’s human rights record in the background. Should have shot it a bit more wide open but you can already start to see the lens aberrations on the lower right hand side.

Another Book Sale
I think this is the biggest one that is held at the TSB Arena every year. The light wasn’t as good as the rowing club one but there were certainly more books. This was taken on the second day so it also wasn’t quite so frenzied.

Vegetable Peeling On Cuba Street
School holidays are still going strong here which is still limiting the amount of shooting I am doing but everything should be back to normal next week. I have missed a couple of great shots, including a sleeper on the waterfront complete in sleeping bag, from not having a camera because of biking or general two kid activities. I’m not complaining since we have had a pretty good holiday.
These were shot while the kids were playing on the Tuatara and slide on Cuba Street.

Sitting In Civic Square
School holidays are upon me again… It’s a time where my wanderings are a bit curtailed having to look after two small people not just one… So its back to the archives for a week or so until I can get out shooting again…
Here’s one from summer in Civic Square.

Coffee Vs Beer
This is from the other weekend where rain interrupted a street shoot with me and Fergus (Cunningvision).
The first shot is sitting outside the St James Theater on Courtenay Place drinking coffee with Rollei on the table pre-focused and the second is on Cuba Street outside J J Murphy’s drinking beer with the same setup although I did have to get Fergus to lean out of the shot while I took it and it was a bit under exposed…
