Old Car
Old car parked in the loading zone behind the Leftbank Shopping Arcade.
It seems to turn up every now and then with a band playing on the back of it.

Fatherhood Friday 8: Birthday done but party Saturday
Survived Emily’s birthday last Friday (she even managed to sleep in til 715 which is around 45 minutes more sleep than usual). She had a great day with far too many presents then going to an indoor playground with a friend and then a dinner party with all her adult friends and more presents.
The thought of having 10 to 12 four-year olds round for a party is somewhat daunting and is becoming a logistical nightmare which will be worse if it rains on Saturday like it is supposed to. The things we do! Hopefully this isn’t setting the bar too high for all birthdays that are still to come.
Now that she is 4 her most common saying has turned into “I know that!” about most things so apparently when you turn 4 you now know everything about everything.
Emily on Car Ride at Karori Carnival
Samantha: Getting even faster with crawling and getting better at pulling herself up on furniture and walking along it. Also getting better at disappearing and turning up in places she isn’t supposed to be, such as CD shelves, power cords, book shelves, heaters etc…
She also seems to be learning words (not proper words but understandable what she means) at a very fast rate of a couple of new ones per day.
Not too much mischief this week from either 🙂
Sorry about old pic but didn’t get a chance to develop the 2 black and white films I shot last week which had some pics of the girls on them… Hopefully will sort after the party madness.
Stairs
Going up or going down?

Motorcycle Protest Rally
A couple of months ago there was a big protest about the government putting the ACC levy up for motorcyclists.
I thought this would be a good time to go snap off some shots although when I got there it was a bit intimidating to say the least.
When I asked the guy on the left said cool but the guy on right wasnt in to it so I snapped the shot and left quickly. I especially liked all the gun club badges on the jackets… Possibly not people to mess with.
Really bad lighting on this one but once again I asked and one of them said cool. After I had taken the shot they asked me which paper I was working for 🙂 . Sometimes my Nikon F5 gives me some serious street cred.
Mostly I just liked this guys helmet which looked alot more fashionable than protective, also cool bike.
All images shot on Nikon F5 with 50mm f1.8 between f8 and f11 with Ilford Delta 400 ISO film. Sunlight was directly overhead with no clouds which made for very contrasty images.
Zombies and Wookies
Not usually seen togeather… Can wookies actually become Zombies? Were these infact Zombie Wookies?

Beacon
This is from last weeks 4WD mission out past Redrocks.
I am assuming that this around about the SS Penguin sank in 1909
I like the fact that its a bit crooked. Not sure if it was built like this on purpose to break the waves that come from predominately one direction or if the person who put it there was permanently drunk.

Red Rocks Hilux Rescue
Apparently its best not get stuck too close to the water when the tide is coming in and there is no way to get another vehicle close enough to pull you out.
I figured that there were enough people pushing so I could stand back and take photos
Best quote of the day from the boy on the left of the frame as the Hilux drove away up the beech “Hey wait for me, Im just a kid”
