Around my neighbourhood

I walk my dog around my neighbourhood everyday at different times of the day – this is a delight. And I tend to take photographs on my way.  I cross a bridge over a freeway – which is often busy and at a standstill.  These pictures were taken on my phone – this evening I took some on my Canon – but was unhappy with the result…practice makes perfect…

Here is the dog

This is my land – Taranaki – driving towards Waitomo….

Not so long ago, I drove in the early morning, well not that early from Taranaki to Auckland.  It took around 5 hours. The morning was misty, cinematic. I stopped and took some pictures. There are times, when I stop, look and cannot believe the landscape before my eyes. The camera allows me to record what I see.

In the last few weeks I have taken these…..


I met these children in the street and they asked me to take their photograph

Looking at people looking at…..I wish I had seen everything.

I have the feeling that I’ve seen everything, but failed to notice the elephants.   Anton Chekhov





I went to the gallery and there were objects, painting, sculptures and people – where was I to look. I was drowning,in  the work it drenched  me, i wanted to keep it in my brain and I wanted to keep the people there too. My camera served me well.

Back Beach – Taranaki Aotearoa New Zealand

Back Beach – Taranaki – my favourite place to walk. On Sunday it was raining gently, little depth of field, and few people. The colours, a limited palette, the sea rugged and loud.

Behind the sculpture…

I removed a little of the last photograph, the smudgy bit, all the way down at the end of the image. Its blur, its colour is what I like and I wanted isolate it and to look at.

Going to the Pergamon Museum

Pergamon –  I walked in and it was overwhelming, I am dwarfed. The friezes and statues, walk ways and facades, mosaics. I sighed, I looked and I photographed…..

Seen on a sunny day

When you can wander around a new city, with only excitement and a new camera – well the world is your oyster

Falstaff:
I will not lend thee a penny.

Pistol:
Why then the world’s mine oyster,
Which I with sword will open.

Falstaff:
Not a penny.

Green pictures

self….

green – how do you describe colour?

Green is a color, the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570 nanometres. In the subtractive color system, it is not a primary color, but is created out of a mixture of yellow and blue, or yellow and cyan; it is considered one of the additive primary colors.
