Something about me

A grouping of my very amateur photography, mostly street stuff taken in recent years around the planet. I'm a New Zealander whose life has been immersed in making and documenting music from Aotearoa. I've been in and out of South East Asia over recent years and I guess my urge to take photos comes from my father, who carried a Pentax all over the world for two decades and has gifted me thousands of extraordinary images. I'll create a section for those as soon as I can. I can't hope to match his skills but this site is a tribute to him and his camera.

Cartier-Bresson once said, "Your first 10,000 images are your worst". I have no idea how many I've taken but it's fair to say that there are many from past years I deem my "worst" and, hopefully, I've improved since then as I've learnt and as the Fuiji I usually use (evolving from the X-T10 to X-T20 to X-T30 and currently my much-loved X-T5) have become increasingly an extension of my arm, and I've become braver, more confident and more adventurous. I'll dig through the archives and see if I can find anything from years past (even the Canon snappy days) that I'm not too embarrassed about and possibly add them.

My full personal history and words about my record labels, clubs and such can be found via the link at the top of this page.
