Locks Of Love
This is something I have walked past countless times over the years but this is the first time I have noticed that all the padlocks have things written on them 🙂

Napier, Art Deco Capital Of New Zealand
Just spent the last weekend in Napier for a cousins wedding. I shot a number of films while I was there and due to bad remembering developed one of the ones I shot round town while I was supposed to be developing the ones I took at the wedding 🙂
Most of Napier was levelled in an earthquake in 1931 which killed 256 people but was mostly rebuilt in the Art Deco style that was popular at the time.

Where The Heck Did 2013 Go?
Did I blink and miss half of it?
Here’s to a more photographically productive year in 2014…
Happy New Year!

Scrap Yard Holga Pano
A couple of shots of a scrap metal yard on a Holga adapted to shoot full width 35mm film.
I actually went into the office to ask if I could go a bit more into the yard but was told I could only shoot from the gate as it was too dangerous 🙂

Adventures In Assisting: Frenz Hair Salon
This is from a couple of weeks ago when I did a job with photographer Alicia Scott. Ivan and his team at Frenz Hair Salon were great to work with and it was a fun shoot. I even managed to plug Rollei into the lights, via pocket wizards, and snap a couple of shots 🙂
See one of the final shots on Alicia’s page HERE

A Bit Of Camera Repair
I finally got around to pulling apart my broken Canon Demi S half frame camera to see if I could get it back up and running. I found a repair manual online for a slightly different model of camera and started dismantling. There was a major difference unfortunatley in how the front cover came off which would have saved a lot of time and trouble but you live and learn.
I got it all back together (with no extra bits left out) with the initial problem fixed but another problem arose which meant I needed to pull it al apart again… Lets just say its a work in progress 🙂
Luckily while I was doing this I was also bidding on another one online 🙂

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.
