Protest Portrait
Managed to take some images of a protest against a new Search and Surveillance Bill on Saturday.
This was my favourite shot of the day.

“Kingdom Come” Set Via Rollei
More shots of the Kingdom Come abandoned set.
I especially like the one of the wall where you can see the patterns of glue that were used to stick on the stone frontages.

Burst Water Main Revisited
A couple of weeks ago I posted some digital shots of a burst water main in Manners mall (original post here).
I finally got round to processing the film from my Rollei along with some follow-up shots.
Apparently the City Council doesn’t have accurate plans of where the pipes in this area are and the water pipe does an unexpected U up towards the surface which is where the digger driver hit it. He should have been safe to go about another 30cm deeper… No one was hurt and only One shop suffered enough damage that it is suing.
People in the top floor of the apartment pictured behind who had their windows open got a bit soaked.
You can see in this shot that the pipe goes up and over something… Apparently this isn’t in the plans.

Kingdom Come Abandoned Set
Went and had a look at the abandoned set for Kingdom Come last night.
Lets just say that the Wellington weather is having its way with it… Not to mention the graffiti artists…
It all feels a bit mournful with all the work that went into it without being completed and then being destroyed by the elements.
Looks like it is quite the popular place to go as we weren’t the only ones there.
Colour film from Rollei and B/W from F5 still to come 🙂

Double Exposure
First incident with the Rollei giving an unexpected double exposure.
The result isn’t entirely unpleasing but would be happier if I got to pick when to double expose and not the camera 🙂

Guy Taking Photo In Alley
Not that I’m territorial or anything but caught this guy taking photos in my favourite alley off Leftbank Mall in Wellington…
I asked if he minded if I took his picture and he must have miss-heard me cause he started to move his stuff out of my way so I had to explain that I wanted him to be in the picture.

A couple of lads drunken play fighting in Cuba Mall early on a Sunday Morning.

Cuba Festival Images
Three images from the 2009 Cuba Street Festival which turned out to be the last one 😦
This was one of the days that I pretty much started taking street images…

A Couple of Skulls
Earlier this year I went exploring for some abandoned amunition storage units from WW2. Found heaps of them and they are apparently now the place where sheep go to die

Fatherhood Friday 25: Chickenpox and Cabin Fever
Whats worse than a week of chickenpox? A week of torrential rain and not being able to go out and run round AND chickenpox.
Both girls are starting to go a bit crazy and Emily is starting to talk non stop all the time…
At least today it is finally sunny and both girls are out on the deck running round chasing each other and screaming happily.
Apart from the spots Emily has been pretty much normal all week and has done a brilliant job of not scratching.
