New Zealand Affordable Art Show

Jeffrey — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 04:48:10 +0000

I have three photographs in the New Zealand Affordable Art Show at the end of this month.

Each print is 50 centimeters square, framed and signed.

I wasn’t sure how to price them so I leaned more towards affordable. I’ve always wanted to exhibit my photographs so this opportunity is exciting. You can see more of my work on Flickr.

Wish me luck!

Blue penguin in Wellington Harbor

While walking home from work I saw a baby blue penguin floating in the harbor.

I think he was enjoying the sunshine. Pretty cute.

Summer in Wellington

Jeffrey — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 05:14:29 +0000

The weather in Wellington is as volatile as the New Zealand currency rate. Yesterday was freezing. But today:

Very refreshing! And the pōhutukawa are in bloom by Waitangi park.

Yesterday night I went to a birthday party. The theme was “Hollywood.”

I went as the red carpet.

Now I have three meters of red felt. I didn’t think that one through.

New digital camera

For Christmas the family bought me a new Kodak digital camera. As Wellington has been unseasonably windless, I snapped some photos this weekend.

Here’s Wellington:

It’s also been so sunny my arms and legs are burnt. I had to wear jeans and sandals today.

Try not to stare at the big spaces between my toes.

Thanks! The camera is great.

Photos from Queenstown & Milford Sound

I shot eight rolls of film on my holiday and here are a few:

The view from my room in Queenstown

This was one side of Mitre Peak in Milford Sound

There are hundreds if not thousands of waterfalls in Milford Sound, and the captain had a wet sense of humor

Queenstown vacation

Since Sunday I’ve been in Queenstown and Te Anau. I shot eight rolls of film, this picture is from my phone:

I drove up to the top of Coronet Peak. Who knew the south island was so sunny?

My house is a pot of gold

Pot is an inappropriate (or maybe appropriate?) word. Keith took this photo from his apartment:

The bright rainbow ends on my house!

Rain brings rainbows

Jeffrey — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:10:09 +0000

I only remember a handful of rainbows in Chicago.

Vicky and I stopped for this one on the way back from Raglan.

I wonder if Maoris have something like a leprechaun in their folklore?

Seals at Red Rocks in Wellington

Jeffrey — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 06:58:26 +0000

Last weekend I went with Sheryl and Tony to Red Rocks.

The coast is rugged and the wind was incredible.

Some of the rocks are red, but only a handful. The seals rest here in winter. If you haven’t been, you should go. It’s worth the walk.

Winter in Wellington

Winter in Wellington means rain.

Even rain can be a little pretty. This was shot in the morning on my way to work.
