This is make take on fantasy art. Pretty average content so a lot of layers to polish this bad boy up to some sort of postable level :-)

Hand on my heart...

War comes to Allendale Rd :)

I may have been a little distracted...

2009-04-21T01:52:00.001-07:00

Want. More. Photons.

2009-04-20T05:09:00.000-07:00

An excellent evening's entertainment, and thanks to the Allendale Shooters juggernaut for inviting me along. A few extras from my collection reside here...

Swing low sweet dreams

First ever guest appearance by Shooters friend David St George. Pleasure to have you shoot with us!

I am Sophia Wangyu

When I say Jump...

2009-04-06T14:35:00.000-07:00

I must admit I was a bit slow on the uptake, but this was a lot of fun, especially once Simon got his kit off!

Side light, men!

2009-04-06T02:58:00.000-07:00

Thought it might cool to try and bust out the extreme side light. Turns out its harder than it looks. So i just kinda twiddled some nobs for a bit. haha

SB900 - about 20ft in the air, remote trigger. Enjoy ;-)

And all at once, the shooters are in the groove again. Good times.

Tonight I went to a Positivity Party... I feel good

2009-03-16T03:26:00.000-07:00

Its getting hot in here

2009-03-16T02:01:00.000-07:00

I'm lamenting the changing seasons and dimming lights

The winter winds are calling, the leaves are falling

And what ever will we do with the failing light

An inny or an outy?

2009-03-16T01:27:00.000-07:00

The true under belly...

2009-03-09T15:17:00.001-07:00

The wind on the moore

2009-03-09T01:44:00.000-07:00

The sun is hanging lower, the shadows are stretching longer

2009-03-09T01:24:00.000-07:00

How very interesting...

2009-03-02T12:02:00.000-08:00

If a train came to take you away, would you go or would you stay?

2009-03-02T00:15:00.000-08:00

Bush trains!

2009-03-02T00:14:00.000-08:00

I even met another random dude out taking pics! Nice to know there's other photographic life in the city

Cheers

What boat, I dont see a boat?

2009-02-23T12:19:00.000-08:00

Sometimes its just the vibe

2009-02-23T01:56:00.000-08:00

So... turns out everything else was more interesting than the RMS Queen Mary.

Peek a boo

2009-02-23T00:49:00.000-08:00

Im sorry, which country are we in again?

Twilight star bright city night

2009-02-16T11:59:00.000-08:00

A nice evening stroll around the Auckland domain. Sadly i wasted the best light running around trying to find something to silhouette in it. Then missed photographing my car in the twilight talking my girl on the celluar. haha
;-)

No time-and-a-half for us

2009-01-26T15:27:00.000-08:00

Seems like the soccer is over...

Soccer stars

2009-01-19T00:31:00.000-08:00

A sudden stop of our play,
A bloody card and a cursed sign for us
To walk off our living pitch,
Whether winning or losing,
Artistical expression or violent acts,
Joys, tears, confusion, or frustration,
All must cease!

So who is interested in merchandise...

2009-01-17T17:18:00.000-08:00

There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.

I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free.

All The Things That They Make You Say
And All Of The Love That You Hide Away
I'll Pick You Up And It Will Be All Right
I'll Pick You Up And It Will Be Tonight
She Rode A Horse Into My Head
She Won't Discipline The Children
And Now They're Running Wild On The Beach
And I Don't Care
Oh, I Don't Care
No I Don't Care
Hey, Hey, Hey
It's The Middle Of The Night And You're Here
Playing Dominoes And Drinking Beer
I Tried To Think Of Something Deep To Say
But My Well Is Dripping Dry Today
Hey, Hey, Hey

Well we have the first edition of the Allendale Shooters Blogazine, if you would like a copy of this please contact us via email. This is a glossy 36pg magazine, it's pretty basic, but shows the best of our blog in printed format for 2008. The cost is $10.

Angry young men high on ignorance

2008-12-15T01:08:00.000-08:00

Once again high on the elixir that so often imbues young men to feats of unsung ignorance; we were confronted. Not insomuch as confronted but conformed. Or at least not conforming too. Pertaining to privacy? What privacy? What privy? Or possibly just ignorant of Google street view.

Ignorance is the parent of fear . . .

2008-12-15T00:22:00.000-08:00

At last the anchor was up, the sails were set, and off we glided. It was a sharp, cold Christmas; and as the short northern day merged into night, we found ourselves almost broad upon the wintry ocean, whose freezing spray cased us in ice, as in polished armor.

. . . because truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of an oncoming train

Better late than never... hmm steps

2008-12-14T12:33:00.000-08:00

Well at least I tried, more photos of steps. They do have nice textures up close. I guess you could look at my website if you'd like to see something more interesting: Lookleft . Also stay tuned for the Allendale Shooters Blogazine.

Your city's a sucker

2008-12-08T14:27:00.000-08:00

your city's a sucker
your city's a sucker
your city's a sucker
your city's a sucker
my city's a creep

want we want is what you want
want we want is what you want
is free tv
want you want is what we want
want you want is what we want
is a case of the ha ha ha ha's

...and yes, I did accidentally throw a bucket of water on myself and my camera

2008-11-10T19:50:00.000-08:00

Well this was a rather damp experience for me, while Sam felt he had finished after 5mins I spend the rest of the evening throwing water on myself, my camera, the house, plants, trees, and a variety of local pets. I decided to slow things down after I accidentally threw half a bucket over my Nikon D3, I'm pleased you found this amusing Simon. It's worth having a look at the larger version of these pics as the detail is amazing. The second image is a close up of the third. Lookleft

Freeze punk!

2008-11-10T11:59:00.000-08:00

A below average effort from Mr Shepherd this week - I stopped shotting about 10 minutes after having started. Some would say lazy, others that it doesn't take long for a genius to create a masterpiece. Anyway, there were far more important things to be doing - like watching Andrew throw buckets of water over himself.

Dew drops in the freeze frame

2008-11-10T00:58:00.000-08:00

All shot with my trusty bike LED night light at about 250th/sec (Take that strobist!) ahahaha. This would have been a hell of a lot easier under natural light, but hey, it wouldn't be shooters if it wasn't hobbled together last minute in the dark... Kinda fun, and happy it actually worked. (oh and btw the shoot brief with "peak time")

Tanked...

Why Whine Wine

2008-11-03T17:19:00.000-08:00

Rolling out once again in the hope of catching the dying rays of light dancing throught out the tank farm. Unfortunately I held up the rest if the team taking macro photos of the flowers in the front yard. I got caught up in the spring excitment via the fact that the sun was out and it was rediculously hot still at six in the evening. Mind you, my excitment was destroyed after Simon decided where we were going for dinner despite the fact he didn't even want anything cause he'd already eaten.

Devils in the detail

2008-11-03T11:21:00.000-08:00

Shots from around the Tank Farm. Nothing like farming some tanks.
Obligatory shout out to the girls back home. Check out my blog. Oh wait this is my blog.
Nevermind

Everyone loves a silhouette... oh yes they do

Watch out for the latest issue of Idealog Magazine coming to the stores this week, there is a 7page article on fashion week, featuring designer Cybele Wirren, I did the photography for it. There are some other images on my website from the World show: Click here to see Lookleft

Caribou

2008-10-20T12:25:00.000-07:00

After a brief time in hiatus, the shooters emerge again. This was our first outing where the sun was still in the sky - and we are still alive so at least that proves we are not vampires. Shooting in twilight should make a nice transition from our usual activities under the cloak of darkness. And for those still sratching their heads at the 'Caribou' reference - the answers you seek are here

Spring is a Panorama

2008-10-20T01:40:00.001-07:00

Fine! Alright! Sam said i hand to right three full sentences. Firstly this weeks entry is bought to you by the letter B. B for borrowed. Which was the camera i used. B for barnacle, which i nearly tripped and fell into the sea on. (With said borrowed camera). Thats actually not true, but i wanted to say barnacle. As in beardy blue Bears, bloody bright burnished barnacles. Lastly, N for narcissism, for lookleft's shameless self promotion. :P

It's the little things that count
