Marakopa Falls

 
 
Near Waitomo there is are these 
beautiful falls easily accessible by foot.
The falls are much bigger than they 
appear in this photo. For some reason
the scale seems to have altered,
but then again, that is something
that often happens when I photograph.
Not that I do it intentionally.
 
Below is a waterfall that I 
photographed in 2002. This
one is not real though. It 
is in a park near where I live
and can be activated by pushing a button.

Waitomo Caves

 
 
For some years I have been wanting
to photograph stalagmites and stalactites.
A couple of weeks ago I got
the opportunity and these are three
of my initial attempts.
 

Hamish McKay Gallery

 
 
Here is a view 
of some works at Hamish McKay Gallery
in Wellington. 


I like the unusually
large gaps between the works.





Landscape, Norsewood

 
 
This photograph is currently on show at’
Hamish McKay Gallery. Taken last
year it has not been exhibited until now,
in spite of it being an image that
I value very much. I don’t know why
but it means a great deal to me.
 
It also reminds me of a photo that I took
3 or 4 years ago at the McRaes Flat gold mine,
not so much in an emotional way, but 
structurally. There is a certain
congruence.

Fern

 
 
This fern photo came to me latish last year and is currently on show at 
Hamish McKay’s in Wellington. The opening was yesterday
although we didn’t have an actual opening. 
 I am reminded
of the 1984 fern photo below
from the slopes of Mt Taranaki. 
I remember the day well.
 

Natalie

 
 
Currently, at the Gus Fisher Gallery
in Shortland Street, Auckland
a selection from the last 30 years.
 
Here is a portrait that my
father made, this one of my sister
Natalie when she was about 15 yrs old.
 
 

Buddha, Kaukapakapa

 
 
This black and white photo
I took in 1998.
The golden statue sits on a hill 
above a Tibetan Buddhist
community in Kaukapakapa,
about 30 minutes north of central Auckland.
About 2 weeks ago I visited the
statue again and this colour photo
is the result.

Red

 
 
Recently I have been buying
red notebooks. Don’t know why 
exactly except that I like the 
look of them and there is something about them
that appeals to me. I might make a few squiggles 
on one or two pages but generally I don’t write in them.
