Ticker Tape Journey
Seen at last weeks parade.
This shows the short life of ticker tape from being shot out of a canon to being swept up…Enjoy
It was basically a CO2 cylinder strapped to a box with a tube stuck on one end… Nice
Nothing like a whole heap of different coloured tape to throw off your exposure meter 🙂
Shock horror its in colour! Ran out of black and white and had a roll of Kodak Supra 400 (which was horrendously expired… Thanks the person who gave it to me…you know who you are)
Not sure I would want to be this guy.

Stilt Walker in Civic Square
One of the few times I have been a little frustrated with my 50mm. Would have been easier to frame the shot with a wide-angle which would have ment I could have got her all in the shot showing how much taller she was than everyone else. Couldnt get back any further without getting other people in front.
Seen at Civic Square in Wellington at the All Whites (NZ Football Team) parade. The name comes from the fact they wear all white uniforms.

Civic Square Ball
New wooden sculpture on top of the bridge going over the road from Civic Square in Wellington.
New opportunities for framing the ball hanging in the middle of the square.
Have taken this again with better framing but film is still in the camera.

Reflection Sculpture and Diver
It was kind of a nothing happening day so I decided to go shoot the statue/sculpture I had seen a couple of days ago on the Wellington waterfront. The sky was pretty overcast so the conditions were pretty good (although I will go back at nigh and shoot with flash sometime in the future).
So I get there and start taking some shots when all of a sudden people start jumping off the wharf directly behind the sculpture…wtf… some sort of training for dive people I guess… They started doing circuits on the dock so it gave me a good opportunity to get some pics.
P N D S was written on their wetsuits but didn’t get anything from google and they were going pretty hard out so was thinking they were possibly Navy… If anyone knows?
I love it when stuff like this happens 🙂
Reflection.
The one on the right is a sculpture.

Bubble Man
Man blowing bubbles in Manners Mall, Wellington.
He wasnt too happy with me taking his photo and stopped whenever I was in his sight. I sniped this one while walking past from the other end of the mall.
This image is kinda inspired by THIS IMAGE which is much more impressive… Cheers Fergus.

Darkroom Printing Session
Spent 6 hours in a darkroom on Wednesday. Managedto print these images at 12 x 16 inches on some heavy weight gloss RC paper.
Hopefully I will get to go again in a week or so andf print the other 5 – 7 images that will hopefully make up an exhibition.
A couple of Old Ladies and 7’s Chaos
This was taken at the Rugby 7’s after party. It amused me that there was a couple of old ladies wandering around amongst thousands of dressed up drunk young people. unfortunately after I spotted them they headed away from where all the costumed people were so this was the best shot I got.

Protest
Protest from a couple of weekends ago (only just developed film last night)
I like that some of the people are looking directly at me and that some are avoiding me altogether.
