Bowling Alley

Wellington, NZ, 2011: More shots from today at the “bowling alley”, the new bus lane through the former “Manners Mall”. This elder gentleman seemed to have a death wish and took the buses head-on…. Canon EOS 30D/Makinon 28mm f2.8

Brothers

Wellington, NZ, 2011: Hit the town today for a bit of street photography with Simon Burrow. He’s been shooting around the streets of Wellington for a few years now and building up an impressive portfolio. Grabbed a shot of this hooded guy at Cuba and Vivian Streets intersection, with a recently purchsed $10 Pentax screw […]

UFO

Clapham Junction, London, 1997: I’d recently purchased my first SLR camera, a Mamiya ZE with Sekor-E 50mm f1.7 lens (for about 40 quid). I was living/working in this old pub in South London and an avid reader of Fortean Times magazine. Having seen many faked UFO photos and curious as to how they were created, […]

Chimney

Cappadocia, Turkey, 2003: More bizarre chimney structures in the Cappadocia region of central Turkey… Canon EOS A2E/28-105/Velvia 50

The al-Assad dynasty of father dictator, Hafez (president 1971-2000); eldest son Basil, (groomed as successor- but killed in a car accident in 1994): and youngest son (and current dictator) Bashar, are also known […]

Palace

Buckingham Palace, London, 1997: Just scanned this old neg today, a time-capsule (if you like) from 15 years ago… I was passing Buckingham Palace on my usual route into town from Victoria Station when I came across this crowd… Then there was an RAF fly-over… click- it must be the Queens birthday…. In hindsight those […]

Firth of Forth

Firth of Forth, Scotland, 1997: The iconic Forth Bridge links Edinburgh- over the waters of the Forth of Firth– with Fife to the North… Mamiya ZE/50mm 1.7/Fuji Superia

Bos

South Taranaki, New Zealand, 2004: Cows are bizarre looking creatures when you take a closer look- particularly in Taranaki where they are literally part of the landscape… Cows/cattle are the most common species of the genus Bos. The name cattle was borrowed from the old French word catel, meaning ‘moveable personal property’. The term is […]
