My walk home

I live in the city – and so I walk to and from work.  One of the streets I walk down is a wonderful combination of galleries, shops cafes, clubs and sex shops. I will slowly but surely take photographs of the streets in my neighbourhood and the people who live and work in the area. Here are two shop fronts on the street.

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.


it’s been a while

Where has the time gone? Many hours staring into space, many spent looking at the TV and sometime taking pictures….


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


Cafe

 


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.

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…..

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.

Blurry

What is this an image of?  Blurry and  blobby   – but I like it, furry kind of textured thing.


one more image for this evening and then sleeping

When everything turns to shit and you can’t see your way through – sometimes all you need is a cup of tea and a sandwich : well sometimes it helps me – when this is delivered by someone I love…..
