Broken Machine

I only just noticed when I looked at the developed image that the gutter laying machine was missing a wheel and in the process of being repaired…

Fits in quite well with the whole broken thing…

More Broken

Broken umbrella found at the corner of Dixon Street and Victoria Street.

Finding broken things seems to be becoming a bit of a theme… Hmmmmm …

Sunday Vege Market

THis is shots from last Sundays vegetable market on Victoria Street. This is one of the times that I get to go to work early and do about half an hours shooting before the doors open.

Its one of those great places for this kind of photography because there are lots of people crammed into a small space…Kind of like shooting fish in a barrel.

Fatherhood Friday 21: Amanda Makes me Smile

No pics of kids this week back to that next week 🙂

While I was cleaning up the kitchen this morning I spotted a note between the cleaning products…

On closer inspection this is what it said…

Not sure if it was for me or for those hiding in plain sight that I possibly can’t see… Either way it made me smile so I took these images and then put it back 🙂

A Couple of Street Shooters

Thought it was about time that I introduced you all to the two cameras responsible for most of the mess of images that I put up here. The one missing, because it was taking the images, is a Nikon D70s with a very trashed 18-70mm Lens.

The Rolleiflex is the latest addition to my camera collection and I have to say that at the moment its a bit of a favourite (Dont tell the F5). Although not in perfect condition, with some lens destruction caused by someone trying to dismantle the lens assembly, it still takes a very sharp image.

I’ve had the F5 for the last 8 or so years. I bought it second-hand in London just before the advent of well priced DSLRs and it has lived up to all that I have asked of it and some that no camera should go through. Its starting to look a little rough and I’m onto my second 50mm f1.8 but it is still an awesome piece of engineering as well as doubling as a weapon if required.

Random Street Shooting

Still coming to terms with the back-to-front composition 🙂 Upside down and back to front is fine but right side up and back to front is still kinda doing my head in.

Here goes some shots from wandering around Wellington

Motor Scooter Revisited

First roll of 35mm film I put through the Rollieflex and I saw this motor scooter that I took a photo of with the first ever film I put through it (Original Post Here)

Looks like its been fixed up a bit since I last saw it.

Buskers

I don’t usually take images of buskers but these guys were seriously going off with some mad jazz styles.

Looks like they were doing pretty well 🙂
