Photography is my passion and the objective of this website is to share that passion. I am a proud New Zealander, who is inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us.

My philosophy in photography is to adopt a personal style that portrays an artistic vision which can also be emotionally powerful. I have a keen interest in people, landscape, photojournalism, and travel photography.

Please bookmark & visit this site frequently for regularly updated travel blogs & photos in the numerous galleries featuring over 1000 images.

 My most recent trip was to USA, visiting spectacular New York and Niagara Falls.  A NEW YORK gallery has been added including images taken of a vibrant group of youths who kindly let me photograph them in Union Square.  Also see recent Kiwi Recovery Program blog.

Kiwi Recovery Program
18 April 2008

  The kiwi is a flightless nocturnal bird which is native to New Zealand as well as being a national icon. Unfortunately, in recent times, their population has been reducing by 6% per year owing to the chicks and eggs being vulnerable to introduced species such as possums, stoats, ferrets, weasels as well as wild cats and dogs.

 

In recent years, a Kiwi Recovery Program has been set up by the NZ Department of Conservation (DOC) to prevent the decline in kiwi numbers. The kiwi eggs are removed from the wild, hatched and reared in captivity then the chicks are released back into the wild when big enough to defend themselves against predators. Special kiwi sanctuaries have been set up where DOC has used intensive ground based predator control to knock out possums and stoats etc.

Cruising the Murray River on a Houseboat
13 November 2007

The Murray River is Australia’s second longest river at 3750 kilometres in length starting in the Australian Alps and winding through three separate States to end in South Australia.

 

A group of 12 couples from New Zealand and Australia hired the 2 largest luxury houseboats from the tourist award winning company “Unforgettable Houseboats” for a 7 day experience on this great river. Organised by our “First Sea Lord” (Margaret), the group boarded the boats at Mannum complete with enough food supplies and “liquid assets” to feed and water a small army.
