Deacon Brodie

Edinburgh, Scotland, 2005: Deacon Brodie, was a Scottish cabinet-maker, deacon of a trades guild, and Edinburgh city councillor, who maintained a secret life as a burglar- partly for the thrill, and partly to fund his gambling. This iconic pub on Edinburgh’s royal mile has been there for years and honors the scoundrel. I finally got around to developing […]

Arrest

Wellington, March 2016: This man was vigorously resisting arrest by four police officers- perhaps with good reason, perhaps not. The scene was rather bizarre as it all occurred down a lane, well away from the prying eyes of the public. A woman approached me and said “good on ya- keep them honest”. I don’t think me […]

Cart

Samsen

Bangkok, Thailand, Oct 2015: After a few months absence I’m back. The good news is I have a lot of new images and video coming soon after recently returning from travels in South East Asia. Here’s some sample street photos from the beginning, shot on my newly acquired Fujifilm X100s.

At this key […]

Wellington, NZ, Jan 2013: The view from the bus at the beginning of the year… Captured on the classic mini rangefinder- the Olympus XA, using Ilford HP5 Black & White film- hand developed (badly) by yours truly…

Manners St

Wellington, January 2013: While waiting for the bus one day, I took a series of pigeon ground level pictures. This was from way back in January, only recently getting around to hand developing the film (Ilford HP5). The camera was a venerable Olympus XA.

Wall Street

New York, USA, January 2004: I arrived in New York during a mid-winter blizzard. The city was still recovering from the devastating 911 attacks, just over two years prior. It was a pretty grim time to visit and the weather didn’t help- but it was business as usual on Wall Street…

R1

NZ, Feb 2012: Some images shot on the streets of Wellington back in February… These are part of a series I’m going to call “twenty dollar camera”- because, you guessed it- they were made on a camera I purchased for around $20 or less. The camera in question is a Ricoh R1. It’s light, low […]
