Whoo Hoo! Earthquakes!

Had our second reasonably sized earth quake inside a week last night. (First one didn't wake me but I was aware of the one last night - it was a 7.6)

Check out our earthquakes here.

Way back in march...

I shot Bic Runga, great music but very little light. (I guess photography is not their main concern) ;-)

Local Music

Last Friday I shot a killer concert with local bands, Hollie Smith and Olmecha Supreme.

In April I also shot Russell Crowe, which was not my favorite - but it was great catching up with an old mate that works for him.

More concerts

In April I shot Keb' Mo' which was excellent.

When to be embarrassed...

I saw this site and thought it was hilarious parody, but then it dawned on me that some folks think this.

No privacy, no free speech, no free press. Yeah America!

Swaying Elephant

This is what my mate Scottie says when you gets itchy feet, "Swaying Elephant" - apparently elephants in captivity began to sway. I'm laying in bed late on a Sunday morning and found this website that makes a travel map of which countries you've been to.

I'm at 20 countries which is only 8%! And when I see it visually I'm flabbergasted by these massive chunks of the world of which I've not seen a bit.

So now I'm just chomping at the bit to go to Europe in July, and also to do some serious travel again soon in South America, Africa, and Asia.

Wellington Sunrise

By some weird planetary alignment, or possibly a flock of butterflies in Paris, I was asleep by half ten last night. This caused the most unexpected result of waking naturally at half six in the morning. Remember, winter’s coming on here so it’s bloody dark.

Well, as I was feeling inexplicably rested I took a stroll on the wharf that’s about 200 yards from my building this morning and grabbed a couple snapshots of sunrise.

Hope all’s well wherever y’all are!

PS I found it odd that when I put these photos up, I noticed for the first time I didn't tag them as "Travel" - crazy how at home I feel here.

Easter Weekend Photos

I've got my Easter Weekend photos up. It was a fabulous time with a Kiwi, some English, Burmese, and Flemish. A beautiful vineyard on the East Cape of the North Island.

All photos are here, otherwise here are some of my favorites:

Weeks flying by...

Somes to City

Went out to Somes Island in the Wellington harbour on Saturday. It was beautiful, but have found my weeks are blazing by lately which is disconcerting. I feel it's never a good thing if life isn't highly punctuated - if not I'm not being present enough.


Also took some photos from of public art around my flat this weekend:
