Blog

Peter was a great believer in communicating about photography and got into blogging in its early days.

His blog ran, with some gaps, from 30 November 2006 to 2 September 2018.

Voyager

 
These framed photographs
I made several years ago
as a set of 10.
Usually they live in a box but now
they are on display in my studio.
The misshapen monkey is from
the Whanganui Museum.
I made about 1500
badges from the image.

Today’s Camellia

 
 
Taranaki has a nip in the air
which Himalayan plants such as
Camellia and Rhododhendrum like a lot.
In my garden they grow vigorously.

Coleus

 
 
For the last 12 months I’ve quite suddenly
become interested in coleus. These specimens
are in my studio and seemed to have
grown quite sturdy over the winter.
 
I’ve photographed them several times over the
last few months but, as usual, todays image
is the one that I am most interested in.
 

Today

 
I’m in the middle of a major
tighten up of my office, studio,
and living quarters.
Now have new roof, insulation, wool on top,
munched up plastic drink bottles underneath,
and black plastic on the damp earth.
Came across these two photos this afternoon.
They are between two and seven years old.

Snake

 
 
 
Last night I was babysitting and fortunately
for me the four and a half year old
dug into my toy boxes and dragged
objects out that I had forgotten about.
 
This snake is one of them.

Outside Walls

 
 
 
Today I have had my electric chainsaw
out and been clearing walls on which
I can glue up photographs that
I have been storing in my studio.
This photo is several years old,
taken of a piece of driftwood
that I picked up near here.
The green plant on either
side is the vine Tecomanthe
Speciosa
