Dragon Boats
On one of my many before work wanders (I no longer work so these have now become extinct, RIP) I came upon a training session for the upcoming Dragon Boat races. Armed with only my trust Nikon F5 and a 50mm f1.8 lens I set about trying to capture the event in a very short window of opportunity before I was supposed to be at work.

The Great Sunday Bake Off Fundraiser
The Great Sunday Bake Off was an event to take some home baking to the people of earthquake stricken Christchurch. The idea was that lots of people bake and then drop what they have baked off which would then be loaded on a bus and transported and distributed in Christchurch.

The response they got from Wellington was great and they ended up having too much to fit it all in the bus… The leftover was sold as a bake sale and the money, matched by BP, was donated to the Red Cross… They ended up donating around $16000 as well as all the baking that went to Christchurch.
A good effort all round!
Here are some pics from one of the drop off points at Civic square after I had dropped off some ANZAC biscuits that Amanda and the girls had made in the weekend.

New Piercing
On Wednesday I got a new piercing at Ninjaflower… Just happened to have my camera and Amanda took this image of me before the jewelery was put in.
The second one is a self-portrait (Nikon F5 is a really heavy camera to take this kind of shot with) from earlier today…
I’ve kinda always wanted one but working in retail has stopped me but now with only 1 weekend of work left I thought “what the heck!”

Waiting For The Fall?
Spotted these two people watching the stock exchange/exchange rate board on the Wellington waterfront… I wondered if they were waiting for the financial after effects of the Christchurch earthquake to hit…
