It’s been a couple of years… TBH, I had somehow managed to lose access to the site as I have another WordPress blog that’s kinda going gangbusters, (The 13th Floor) so that took priority.
But I’ve been missing this space and telling stories – I think it’s time I took it back up. What do you think??? And share some photos… Here’s one…
It took seven years to get this on eprocessed. Just…

Paul McCartney, at last…
I fell in love with The Beatles back in 1962, when I was 6 years old. The radio was full of “Love Me Do” and “Please Please Me” and “From Me to You” and “She Loves You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand” (along with “The Twist” and “The Loco-Motion” and “Johnny Angel.”) I discovered my life-long love of music that year and never let it go. But while I adored the Supremes and The Shirelles and the…

A few portraits
I’ve long had a passion for old movies – mostly talkies, but silents as well… so a couple of weeks ago I put together a shoot with a bunch of models and make-up artists and rented a studio… Costumes and props and whoosh! We were shooting like it was 1922… I’m too busy at the moment to continue working on the photos, so there are many more, but here’s a few I hope you’ll enjoy. Beth St Claire,…

A bit of Halloween Ghoulishness
A bit of Halloween Ghoulishness
You may have guessed that I’ve been a bit more rapt in photography than writing lately. The photography is moving more and more into complex shoots, involving costumes, make-up, proper lighting… Still trying to figure out where I want to take this. The natural direction seems to be art photography (trying defining that!) but I find I have a lot of fun with the goofy stuff. Sooo… Here’s a gallery…

The first tunnel, first of many… but you never forget your first…
This is an underpass. It’s on 167th St in the Bronx and runs under the Grand Concourse. We lived in a block of 6-storey red-brick apartment buildings a few blocks away and this was where we shopped. It really hasn’t changed much since I lived there back in the early 60’s. Deep discount shops, fast food, bars, second run movie houses – chain link fences, barbed wire, guard dogs, alarms. Not a very…

Ace Frehley – The Studio April 25, 2015 What I got up to last night. Possibly the loudest show I've ever been to, but I got some amazing shots of the band.
A little bit of Bushwick
A little bit of Bushwick
We stayed in Bushwick in and Air BnB flat that was rather nice and possibly the cleanest accommodation I have ever stayed at. But Bushwick is one of those newly emerging neighbourhoods, so it’s got some cool places, but also a lot of stodgy old places. And great restaurants but more boring dives. Unfair to compare it to Williamsburg, except that I keep hearing it’s the new Williamsburg. Maybe…

A short stroll down Mulberry Street
A short stroll down Mulberry Street
Wandered into Little Italy a few weeks ago. It’s a bit of the same as it’s ever been and a lot like it never was, except maybe in movies and TV and what we expect of it. Part history, part fantasy – had a brilliant cannoli at Cafe Roma though, along with an exquisite piece of Italian Cheesecake, which might be the most important thing.
But the streets are narrow and cluttered with cars and people…

Kicking Around Brooklyn in the Snow
Kicking Around Brooklyn in the Snow
I’ve been beating myself up lately for neglecting this blog… sigh… the reality is I’ve been doing so much travel and making so many pictures, I’ve really not had the time to develop or share them. Just got back from the US on Saturday. There’s over a thousand photos to process…
Let’s start with a Fabulous Snowy Day in Williamsburg! We rented an Air BnB apartment on Berry St and waited for the…

Having a wee look
Having a wee look
Visited the famed Highline Park in Manhattan last month – end of autumn, all the wild flowers gone to seed. A wee bit desolate. Snapped these two shots of milkweed – and a bunch of other stuff… but haven’t got to them yet. Had to share these…

Santa Monica Pier on a Cold and Lonely Night
Santa Monica Pier on a Cold and Lonely Night
The view from our budget hotel on Redondo Beach Drive was a bit surreal. The beach was many miles away and there was no shopping or nearby attractions, making me wonder what might have possessed anyone to build a hotel in such a place…
But having settled in, we decided to go to Santa Monica Pier for dinner in the evening. And that’s when things got really strange…
It seemed a bit ghost-y, all…

Shooting Skaties
I’ve been hankering to shoot skateboarders for the last while. Went down to Victoria Park in the Auckland CBD yesterday and gave it a go. Reasonably happy with the results, though I am certain there’d be substantial improvement if I went again.
Maybe next weekend…

Shooting steampunks again
Well, I’ve been shooting a lot of things to be honest – film premieres, streetscapes, my super-giant baby cat and… yes, more steampunks… the love affair continues. What can I say? I think I’ve reached some new ground though – it’s not the same-old, same-old… Here are a few of my favourites. They were taken At the Auckland AetherCon – some are vendors, others are friends I dragged out to the…

The Daring Debauchery of the Decadent Stinkhorn Fungus
The Daring Debauchery of the Decadent Stinkhorn Fungus
I was so enthralled by the discovery of these Sinkhorn Fungus at the Auckland Domain yesterday shooting the sad flowers of winter, I returned today with my tripod and macro lens – though they are not really macro subjects averaging 10-12 cm high (4-5″) and when fully extended 25-30cm across (12″). But the macro lens goes to f32 (I’m using the Tamron 90mm) which is much better for close ups than…

Even the flowers are depressed
Even the flowers are depressed
I’ve had enough of winter already, thank you thank you…
It’s never really been my cupp as it goes, even when I was a kid in the northern hemisphere in the wilds of upstate New York where the snows fell 4 feet deep and snowdays meant you got to play outside in it all day long in the middle of the week. Yeah, for me it meant the other kids would leave me alone while I curled up in bed with a book.
