Check out some of my recent work, and my essays on Photographing The Arts!
As I mentioned in last week's post, this Lost & Found image is from a trip to Methven in the South Island of New Zealand I did back in 2003 for a magazine in NYC; because the story was about skiing, it seemed important to try to capture some of the mountains around the town, even though the season wasn't right...
Read MoreIn early 2003, I got an email from a magazine in New York, wondering if I was available to pop down to the South Island for a couple of days, to find some images to accompany a story about skiing in New Zealand. Well, who am I to say no to such a thing?
Read MoreThe Asylum project wrapped up over the weekend, and I managed to get back to the Old 505 Theatre on Thursday and Saturday to photograph the last two blocks of scripts I hadn't had an earlier chance to photograph...
Read MoreThis week's Lost & Found entry comes from the upstate New York town of Wolcott, New York - I was driving through from Montreal to Rochester a few years back (on my way to Eastman House for the first time, which was excellent)...
Read MoreLast night was the second group of plays presented as part of Asylum, by Apocalypse Theatre here in Sydney - and another great group of performers, and scripts...
Read MoreToday's Lost & Found was something that just happened one day on the lawn outside City Gallery, in Wellington's Civic Square - I found out later it wasn't an actual exhibition, someone just did it! I'm not sure it was ever made clear who was responsible...
Read MoreThis Lost & Found is another one from the PSNZ Conference in Whanganui in 2009, when we all got up terribly early for some reason involving light. Something like that. I'm sure it made sense at the time...!
Read MoreThis one from the Lost & Found collection is from a photography field trip with Craig Potton one morning, as part of the PSNZ National Conference in Wanganui, in 2009. I don't get up that early often, but I did enjoy it that time!
Read MoreAnother Lost & Found test with the Canon 1Ds Mark II and 85L f/1.2, from a beach walk in Waikanae. (Obviously I wasn't testing the tracking focus, this time!)
Read MoreI can't choose between these two at the moment, so I'm doing a double-post for this week's Lost & Found - hey, it's my website, right? I honestly don't know the true name of this plant, I think of it as cotton grass but it's a some kind of marsh grower.
Read MoreAnother one from the Lost & Found files taken with the original Ricoh GR-D (which was a great little camera, but a bit slow on RAW files), this is from up in Maupuia on the Miramar Peninsula in Wellington, New Zealand. These two sailboats are just chasing the last light of the day back to Evans Bay Marina before what looks like a fairly serious storm closes in on them...hope they made it!
Read MoreFilm! This one's on REAL FILM, look everyone! From the truly Lost & Found department, this is one foggy morning on Wellington's waterfront, back when I was playing about with rangefinder cameras for the first time. I found myself a Voigtlander Bessa and a 28mm lens (if I remember correctly) and got back into film for a brief window before digital cameras hooked me again.
Read MoreA more recent one for this week's Lost & Found - from beautiful Queenstown in the South Island of New Zealand. Such a gorgeous place; this was in May 2012, when autumn was just setting in - a great time to visit, as if there's a BAD time!
