My niece Keira is 4 today, happy birthday! Keira, lover of all things pink, casting a pinkness spell to make the world into her pink domain 🙂
Photo walk in Devonport
We were up in Auckland for Keryn’s Mum’s birthday and this coincided with the 2010 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. Last year I joined the Wellington walk and as we were up north I joined the walk taking place in Devonport. Keryn, Sophie and Travis all came along as well and the day was beautifully […]
Paekakariki Tattoo
Last week on a busy Wednesday I took the chance to go watch a tattoo be created on the back of Jules. I was even told to bring my camera if I wanted, so guess what I did 😉 The tattoo work was done by Tim Hunt at Pacific Tattoo in Paekakariki, Jules was very […]
Stuff and Nonsense
In no particular order: We might be moving house. The landlord is being redeployed elsewhere in the North Island (he’s a pastor for the ELIM church) and as such the decision has been made to sell the house we currently live in. It may be that the new owners will keep the place as a […]
Family Christmas
We travelled down to Timaru by car, taking the Blue Bridge ferry across Cook Stait. We had Patricia and Sam with us and Patricia has inside knowledge for the first ferry, running off to find us a cabin upstairs. It was nice to have an area we could relax and have our own space. Photo […]
Wanderlust shortlist
I received an email the other day to tell me that I hadn’t placed in the top photos for the Travel Photographer of the Year competition, which is a pity. However, the next day I received an email to tell me I was short listed in another UK travel photo competition, this time for the […]
TPOTY shortlist & Travis visits for the weekend
Got a nice email the other day to make up for Photo5 disappointment. One of my entries for the UK based Travel Photographer of the Year competition has been short listed (i.e. down to the final 25 entries). This is a big international competition and even if I don’t get any further at least it […]
Friday and Saturday
For a long time now we had been planning to go camping last Friday. As it happened the weather forecast was really good and earlier in the week Keryn started sending me suggestions of things we could do. One of these suggestions was to visit Kapiti Island and it took me all of 10 minutes […]
Acoustic Church Tour
Photo by Brendon & Keryn St John’s in the City. Last night we went to a concert held at St John’s in the City here in Wellington. I had got into town early to queue if required but this wasn’t necessary so I joined Keryn and Will at the General Practitioner on Willis Street. Will […]
A flying visit
Last weekend we flew up to Auckland to visit Travis and Sophie. We flew up with JetStar and had no problems, there were more issues with Air NZ on the return due to a delayed previous flight. Arriving at the house in we got to meet the cats for the first time. Tikal and Denali […]
We went to Timaru
I took very few photos on our Timaru trip, not sure why in the end. Anyway, we were visiting family and seeing niece Keira for the first time (Skype excepted). I did spend an evening taking a few photos of Keira as she did her thing, they’re up on flickr with a few here. Photo […]
What’s been going on?
As predicted we have been back to Pepe’s a few times now and they don’t disappoint. I’m sure you wanted to know that. Over the last few weeks, in no particular order: we have had visitors from Brisbane and Hastings stay over (and continue to stay actually – mid-stay I’ll say); I’ve bought a bike […]
