Here are some shots I've taken last month- these were up in Northland close to Bayley's beach, a place I have'nt been to in ages. First photo is a shout out to all mates in Austria :)

After 6 months, I finally downloaded the pics from my camera. I have a heap of stuff there, but most of it will probably be backup'd and archived as I don't have to much time to work on my photography. I did have this photo which I found, i took this sometime in October 2007 I think. This is somewhere in Auckland - probably Mission Bay. I there were few raindrops on the lens so the original size

A few days after christmas my girlfriend and I went for a sunrise walk to Mission Bay. I just picked up my little sony cyber shot, though its not 'serious' camera, I had some fun with it - besides I am not a very serious photographer! I haven't taken any pics for quite sometime so I hope these will do for the time being!This is for all those folks reading my blog who are suffering through the

Hi everyone - no unfortunately I don't have any photos in this post. I still have about 2 gigabyte of photos on my flash card from my holiday in europe - which turned out to be one of the biggest adventures during my short existence on this planet.Regarding my photography: honestly I really don't have the motivation to go out there and take photos at this point in my life. For nearly 4 years I

I just finished a wonderful holiday in Atrani, Italy. Below are a few pics from this place. I used a diffent computer to upload these photos, so I am not sure how they will turn out, but hopefully they are ok (for now)Italy was great - lots of stories to tell but I will do so a bit later!

In less than a month I head for a much deserved holiday/business trip to Europe, visiting family and old friends as well as a few new friends. Don't expect to see any new posts for a while (at least until September)!In other news - As of May 8th I am now a New Zealand citizen. My official ceremony will take place when I come back from Europe. A special heartfelt thanks to the people who people

Some extra shots from this weekend:

2007-03-17T07:05:00.000-07:00

I took the opportunity to drive away this weekend. Due to work, I hardly have anytime to take photos, much less take photos. I took my camera along just incase I would see anything interesting - but I was mainly just to got out of Auckland for a few hours.Once again I came across a unique 'creation' whilst walking on Sunset beach in Port Waikato. This time someone put on a pair of orange gloves

2007-03-17T05:25:00.000-07:00

This rainbow was shot outside my apartment a couple of days ago during sunset. I'll have more photos posted shortly - I just got back from a mini-roadtrip to Port Waikato.

Hi All,As you all can tell by the dearth of photography that has appeared here in the past couple - I have been very busy. Not much time to do any photography between now and June. But from June 15 - Sept 15, I plan to do heaps of travelling inside of Europe.If you'd like to meet up, let me know. Here is my (extremely) tentative

Before you northern hemispherites get a bent nose about the title, we are actually have summer solstice on Dec 21 (opposite seasons). I was quite lucky to catch this rainbow. I had the messenger go off on my laptop - which was on my sofa next to my window. I was cooking dinner and when I went to my laptop - i saw this massive rainbow outside my window.

This photo was taken in 2005. I've taken several shots of this chair in my Port Waikato photos section, this one actually isn't there (though its in the banner of my www.portwaikato.com website). I've re-cropped the pic and have added it here for all to see.

2006-12-02T03:27:00.000-08:00

I haven't got out much lately. Maybe around the chrissy holidays I'll do another shoot. This is a quick snapshot i took during sunset friday night. Just happened to catch a rainbow. I happen to think my view here is a great screensaver, I never get tired of it!

Yep thats right. Ok, i did do a wedding shoot in February (don't even think about asking me about that!) but I haven't done any of 'my kind' of photography for 11 months. So its perfectly fitting that I return to Port Waikato to take some pics - the last place I took 'my kind of shots'.Honestly, I didn't miss not shooting much. I am quite a busy lad with my business and photography is just

Here's your answer: because I want to. Yes, as you can imagine, this is the formost question I get all the time from email and the such.Yes there countless beautiful landscapes here.

My photoblog - which I took offline at the beginning 2006 - is now back thanks to Wordpress! For those following - my previous blog was spammed to do death by a cornicopia of porn, get rich quick, search engine optimisation and hotelier ads. I chose wordpress because supposedly it has some great spam blocking features. We shall see! Feel free to leave your comments now!
