London Street Photography Festival Entry? And A Shot Of Me.
I have been thinking of entering this competition for a little while now and there is only a week and a half to go before entries close… Any images people liked or were memorable? Cant be a posed shot which is most of what I do anyway and can be a single image or a set of images…
Let me know
Cheers

Here’s a shot that Andrew aka Saturday Harrasser took of me when we were out shooting after the rugby 7’s earlier in the year. Shot with a Nikon D700 and processed using Silver Effects Pro to look like Ilford Delta 3200 ISO Film (which was what I was shooting that night). There’s not many shots of me I actually like but this is definitely one of them and I have to say that the film grain is pretty damn close to what Delta 3200 actually looks like… Good work Andrew we should got out shooting again some time…

Sleepers Seem To Occur In Sets Of Two
For some weird reason shots of sleeping people seem to happen in sets of two. These two images were taken within about 2 minutes of each other.

The Performance Arcade 2011
On another wander around the waterfront we (Samantha and I) came across this series of art installations. Samantha was very interested and kept wanting to go back and look some more. You can see her hanging out of the backpack in a window reflection in one of the shots with the photography studio.
I think my favorite images is the very last one…

Wrapped Bike
Bike and trees all wrapped up with fliers for the Fringe Festival I think…

Panda In Tight Gold Shorts?
Lunch time wander this time… Sometimes stuff just jumps out at you like this guy… I’m assuming that he was on a stag type deal and his friends made him dress this way but you never know…

More Waterfront Action. Rowers This Time
So I went down to the waterfront again before work on Sunday this time with my trust Nikkor 80-200 f2.8 hoping to catch a bit more from the Dragon Boat racing that was going on the day before. Unfortunately they weren’t there but the rowers were just coming back after a mornings training.

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!”
