CD Listener on Lambton Quay
I don’t remember the last time I saw someone listening to a portable CD player… Don’t get me wrong I’m sure there are still lots of people who do… I just don’t seem to see them…

Rainy Day
A couple of rainy day street portraits on the corner of Manners Street and Victoria Street.
I like going out on rainy days, people seem more surprised that you are taking their photo and the light is usually much less harsh than when it is sunny. I usually find the end of a covered section of pavement and take photos of people walking in the rain.

Baby Factory Delivery Door

Jandal and Punk
On the corner of Manners Street and Victoria Street. I love when you get a prop that people think you are shooting like the Jandal (Shoe) in the bottom left hand corner.

Spray Artist on Cuba Street
This is where the low angle of the Rollei really comes into its own.

Running Girl
On Cuba Street in the middle of a heavy downpour.
I saw her running across the mall from the money machine and totally thought I had fired the shot too early (possibly a little bit early) and missed her altogether. Film is great for surprises.

Somes/ Matiu Island Lookout
As a family we went to Somes/ Matiu island in the Wellington harbour. The island has been used for many things from quarantine of both people and animals to internment for foreign nationals at time of war… It has a lighthouse which was built-in 1900 to replace the lighthouse built-in 1866 (images to come) and the remains of an anti-aircraft battery not to mention its a pest free zone so there are no rats or mice or other nasties so it is a safe haven for many of New Zealand’s endangered wildlife.

Traffic Photographer on Manners Street
Just after Manners Mall became a bus road this guy turned up for about a week… We initially thought he was there to catch buses that were running red lights but it turns out he was there to take images of cars going through the “Bus Only” section of the road, possibly to give them tickets.

Rainy Night at The Bus Station
While waiting for a friend at the bus station I shot a couple of images… This was by far the best one.
Great eye contact with the camera… I didn’t notice when I took it… I love how film still surprises me from time to time 🙂

Window Dresser Through Window
