Midnight Madness for me is the start of the Christmas season. None of this Christmas decorations in October that we see around the place. I don’t remember when I first went to Midnight Madness up in Howick, I was a kid at the time, and I’m not sure how many times I’ve been, but I … Read more
Good friends of mine and Rob’s got married just over a week ago. I was lucky enough to be part of the bridal party for a 11am ceremony, which meant I had to drag myself out of bed at a very early 6am (yes, I do still consider this time to be the middle of … Read more
I’d been meaning to get these photos done around Fathers Day (6 weeks back) but due to Rob’s work and weather conflicting, it took a bit longer to actually get out and take them.

So I was absolutely delighted when I came across … Read more
Last Friday, I got up the nerve to ask my sister to ask her mate if I could take pictures of her newborn baby (just at some stage, not immediately) . My sister called me on Friday night to say that MA and Marsh were free on Saturday morning and that I could head around then … Read more
Well, I’ve been quite into my photography for about a year now. 2009 was quite a step for me. I brought my first dslr, 2 lenses, tripod and external flash. I met some fantastic people on NZFM, both online and at meetups, which for me is quite a challenge as i’m horribly shy in new … Read more
