Photina

Wellington, NZ, 2008: Self-portrait shot on a Photina twin-lens reflex. These TLR’s take a pretty decent image- even the budget German optics of the 1950’s were exellent… Photina Reflex TLR

Bus from Aleppo

Aleppo, Syria, 2005: It took a while to figure out the right mini-bus to take to Tartus on the coast- with a little help from a local. I’d just spent a few days in Aleppo, the largest city in Syria (and the Levant )and one of the oldest inhabitated cities in the world. Aleppo was […]

Ohrid men

Ohrid, Macedonia, 2002. A trio of men fish at Ohrids wharf. Ohrid is situated on the shores of Lake Ohrid in the south of the Republic of Macedonia, near the border with Albania… I stayed with a local family for the few days I was there, they were incredibly hospitable. This small and picturesque lake-side […]

General Storekeeper

Otakeko, Taranaki, 2009: The old General Store at Otakeho, South Taranaki stands resolute 135 years later… Many old stores and factories are still scattered across New Zealand’s rural landscape, reminders of our recent colonial past… E.J.Eaves was the General Storekeeper, his business is conducted in commodious and well arranged premises. Full and varied stocks are […]

Wellington, New Zealand, 8th October 2010: Did a bit of drive-by shooting last Friday- with my camera as the gun… Simon from Dark Halide was at the wheel as we sped through town… It’s handy if you have a hi-speed/burst mode on your camera (like the 30D’s 6fps) but not essential… What would […]

Vampire Grove

Vampire Gr, No Exit, New Zealand, 2010: Yeah, there really is a street called “Vampire Grove” in NZ… Thankfully its probably named after the Vampire aircraft that used to based at the nearby Air-force Aerodrome Canon EOS 30D/Pentacon Auto 50 1.8

Altix

Wellington, New Zealand, 2008: Another semi self-portrait shot on the very small and quirky Altix. I’ve got into this habit of shooting a self-portrait, for the simple reason that when I eventually get the film developed, I can confirm what camera I shot it on. The thing is, it often takes a while for me […]
