Mad Hatters Tea Party?
Outside Armageddon/Comicon… I have just finished reading Alice in Wonderland to my daughter and this shot reminded me of the Queen of Hearts with a gesture of “Off with your head!”

The Kind Of Shot I Want to Be Taking More Of
A shot of a couple of drunks on Saturday morning.
This is definitely the type of shot that I want to be taking more of, but constant don’t take due to being afraid to ask.
As it turned out the guy on the right asked me to take his photo after he saw my Rolleiflex and commented that it was a “cool camera”

Uncomfortable Sleeper
Last weekend I went out early to find sleepers only to find that the council was out in force mowing and cleaning everything in sight. However it did mean that this guy probably moved away from where he usually crashed and this was much more interesting.
In other events I have officially become a sleeper “Snob” walking past one in the weekend because they weren’t interesting enough… Not sure if this is a good thing.

Shooting Some Shooters
When you go to an Event that is like the Dragon Boat Festival a couple of weeks ago with a Rolleiflex a lot of the time it isn’t worth photographing the actual event due to the Rollei not having much in the way of a telephoto ability… But that doesn’t mean you don’t get to take images or have fun 🙂

Collectors With Guns
The Armageddon/Comicon event was on in the weekend, I spotted this at the queue to get in. Is it ethical for collectors for (I am assuming) the Christchurch earthquake to have guns? Kinda takes it to the next level really. I did also miss a shot of Darth Vader also collecting…

Parkour
A couple of different groups of guys practicing parkour skills down by the waterfront.

Yet Another Sleeper
Last weekends sleeper find… The poll I ran last week was mostly inconclusive so I am still trying to work out what I should call this category of images.

Wellington Triathlon
Triathlon in Wellington on the 12th of March… Amusingly this was being run in the harbor in the midst of a tsunami alert throughout the Pacific. Although the risk was relatively low and the event would be finished before the tsunami would have hit it still made me smile 🙂 especially when I asked one of the lifeguards about it and got back the typical kiwi reply of “she’ll be right”
It would have been nice once again to have my 80-200 f2.8 but thems the breaks since I wasnt really expecting to shoot at a triathlon…

Rainy Day
This was shot on a roll of Delta 3200 ISO Film pulled to 800 ISO. I ran out of film on a previous day (which was bright and sunny) and had to down rate the ISO of my remaining film, of course the next day I was out it was really dark and I could have used the extra couple of stops to freeze this shot… Oh well 🙂

Food Vendor
A food vendor at a cultural festive held in Civic Square in Wellington… I guess his day wasn’t going so well… It probably didn’t help that it poured down with rain about 30 mins later.
I like how sometimes if you wait long enough it all come together 🙂
