I’m a bit late to the party as usual – some really great shots here (love the toilet bowl) and it’s reminded me how much I loved shooting on black and white film yet now I hardly ever convert my colour digital photos to black and white.
So here’s a couple of old photos of my grandparents, shot on film about 15 years ago and a conversion I just did (though jpg) of the back of the St James. -
Hard News: Political Idol, or whatever…, in reply to Jonathan Ibell,
I used that Native Affairs screenshot as an inspiration for my cartoon-of-the-day (part of my 100 Days project).

Jackson, that pink photo is amazing. It could almost be an insect.

Talking of birds, this dude (or lady dude) sings every morning and evening from the same tree in our front garden.

One more of those lovely Mt Eden trees… I parked on Esplanade Road under these and when I came back my car was covered in blossom and bird poo.

Capture: Someone, Somewhere, In Summertime, in reply to Cecelia,
Love this picture.
Thanks Cecelia! Great Opotiki shots, Jos.
So the weather came right today and we went over the new motorway bridge at Jacob's Ladder. It's a nice piece of civic architecture, encompassed by a big pohutukawa at one end and opening out onto views of the marina at the other. Wandered down to Wynyard from there. It's really becoming something down there. Almost like a big city! -
Lovely photos so far all, good to see a mixture of stuff that's good to look at and stuff you've been doing.
Today I went to Browns Island with a friend who is trying to knock off every volcano in Auckland. He needed a boat for Browns so we press-ganged my partner into taking us. I managed to sit on the wet side of the boat in both directions. Browns has a pretty interesting history, and despite looking smooth from the mainland, it's really lumpy, with maybe half a metre of kikuyu in parts. On the way back we idled near Bean Rock so I could get this. I have done some modifications in Photoshop (rotate, levels, black & white) but the sky did look pretty much as you see it here. -
At the risk of turning this into last yearʻs Christmas post, I took these last week at the motorway end of Te Atatu Peninsula. This is the first time in 13 years of being in New Zealand that Iʻve felt the tiniest bit Christmassy. Mainly because of the pohutukawa trees.
