Ghost Wave live at the Wine Cellar, Auckland

The ever excellent Ghost Wave live at the Wine Cellar, Auckland on the 13th April 2017.  Ghost Wave were one of the first bands i shot (see here) and their Radio Norfolk album has been on repeat on my Spotify playlist since it was released last year. Excellent stuff. Support was from Sea Views and Roy Irwin

Deadpool

I organised another photo shoot with my excellent cosplay friend, this time as part of a street photography workshop.  It’s great taking pictures with other photographers as you can pool (deadpool?) ideas and come up with something unique.  I’ll post a few more shots from the day later!

Murray’s Bay Birdman Competition

I had great fun last Saturday photoing the Murray’s Bay Birdman Competion which has been revived to take full advantage of the recently opened new Wharf.  There was much entertainment throughout the day with the highlight being the competitors parade and of course the flying demonstrations themselves. Hopefully this will become an annual occurence!

Kings Arms Police Raid – my thoughts

Local music venues are things to treasure.  Each one holds a thousand memories of shared concert experienced.  The best have those experiences burnt in to their very fabric – sometimes literally (though in these smoke free days less likely). So it was with great sadness when we heard last year that one of Auckland’s most iconic venue, The Kings Arms Tavern, had been sold after a period of speculation.  The land that the venue sits on is now worth a considerable […]
