Old Man by the Sea

“Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?” ― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea ‘digital paintbrush’ converted in Photoshop CS5.

Fast 4s…and Economy

Once, when I was training to be a mechanic, a lot of my youth was spent in, under and around cars. Numerous project cars (and bikes), its no surprise I brought the monthly car mags. Reading over tips, projects and general car stuff, I never really used them as inspiration for my own projects, but enjoyed […]

Tasty Snacks

An image from the archives today. It must be several years ago now that I was invited by friends to come and photograph (and eat a little) some finely produced foods. Placed on a table by a wide open window, I worked with the natural available light, and took a series of images. I […]

Welcome New Home

Continuing on from yesterdays image, our new home. Between unpacking boxes, trying to sort internet, tv, and finding things, also comes the ideas of what one can do in ones new home.

Balmain Reserve and the Beach

As the days rapidly count down to the end of Holiday time, I have decided to continue on with my ‘digital Polaroid’ theme for the last few days. Hitting 25 degrees in Auckland today, we headed down to Cheltnham beach for a swim (I have written about the beach numerous times in the past so […]

A big long day – Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone! Today’s image is of one of the tree-top Angels from the family home tree. Still the same old tree I had when young! In keeping it short for the day, image was shot on the Ricoh GRD IV and edited in Photoshop CS5. Its been quite […]

Forgotten Flower

My last pre-scheduled post as I should be back in the country and in front of technology tomorrow! Another archive image of a left behind flower my partner had forgotten to take with her. I edited it at the time in CS4 so cannot recall now what I actually did. I do remember setting it […]
