Shooting From the Hip
I haven’t had much of a chance to go out shooting lately and to be perfectly honest I’m feeling a bit rusty.
Need to brush up on my distances by eye 🙂

Christchurch Earthquake
I finally got a chance to pass through Christchurch earlier in the year for the first time since the major earthquake of 2011.
I have to say it was a bit strange walking through the central city where only around 1 in 5 buildings are still standing even after 5 years.
I remember going to concerts in Christchurch, not getting accommodation for the night, and just wandering around until the bus left back to Dunedin in the morning…

The Train That Wanted To Fly

Last week as I was dropping my wife off at the train station I got a call from a friend telling me to not let her get on the train. She was just getting out of the car and saying goodbye to the kids. When I had a decent look the train was surrounded by tape and there were about four fire engines at the end of the platform.
Apparently the trains brakes malfunctioned and the train went through the end of the line and ended up propped up on a rock and lump of concrete up against a pole.
Luckily no-one was seriously hurt.
The joys of always having a camera with you 🙂

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.
