I had read about the ‘Do something extraordinary’ police recruitment campaign in the Press and on the NZ Police website – so was keen to see the sketches (done by artist Otis Frizzell for the NZ police) for myself. They are quite moving. The civilians featured in the Christchurch artwork…

Well I don’t often do two posts a day – but thought I would make an exception for these pictures. I was reading my new web design book, when the other half came rushing into the lounge and pointing outside – look Michelle! I thought it was a ‘funny cloud’…

This morning I went along to the Artisan Market that is on every Sunday (from 11am to 3pm) at Riccarton House on 16 Kahu Road. It was a lovely day for it – we’ve had blue skies and sunshine and the wind has disappeared. In fact, I think Christchurch has…

A somewhat ‘photoshop enhanced’ photo of the sunset from the deck, snapped by me about 10 minutes ago. I couldn’t walk fast enough back to the house up the hill to get the sunset at its best! Oh well, thanks to a long lens and photoshop I have at least…

Oh dear. I’m glad I got a chance to photograph this mural on a Ferry Road dairy before the February earthquake hit (in fact it was about a month before back in January). Click on the image for the before shot I took back in January. For those readers outside…

Gloucester Street near the Durham Street intersection – with the army still in attendance at the cordon. I realised I’d not been into the city since June 13th (when we had that big aftershock). I still think twice about where I park and what side of the street I walk…

It’s a little early for Spring – we’re only half way through winter, but seeing these cheerful flowers (of the Narcissus family I do believe) makes me feel that Spring won’t be far off. We have been having lovely fine weather in Christchurch – very sunny and mild – not…

Jul 8, 2011

Late this afternoon I decided to practice using my prime lens, as I realised I’d become too reliant on my zoom, so needed to get some experience with the 50mm I have. I was actually taking a photo of the light on the trees when the sheep walked from all…
