Camille



For those of you who don't know, this is Camille, my new baby. She's a 1967 Morris 1100 - powder blue with red interior.

This is her first trip to the petrol station with me (and she promptly blew a fuse right after this and I spent the rest of the night driving without indicators - great).




This photo shows the timeless classic against some smartarse flash car. Camille obviously wins hands down for looks and style.



And there always has to be at least one lounging pose ... right?

Wellington on a sunny day ...

A little addicted to roaming around in the sunshine to take photos ... thought I'd share some.

Brooklyn Hill view of Oriental Bay



Owhiro Bay (take 2 - no dead body this time)



Rocks.



not much more I can say about them really.

Makara



An afternoon of sunshine is always good for inducing grandiose dreams of adventure and armed with a new friend/psuedo flatmate and a car, an excellent Sunday afternoon of photography appeared to be shaping up.

Well, that's until the dead body turned up at Red Rocks.

Not to be outdone, Derek and I headed out to Makara, well within the required time to make the sunset. It was only a "leisurely stroll" up to the lookout (Derek maintains it was a slope, not a mountain) but completely worthwhile. I did almost get blown off the top of the bunker, but a little element of danger never hurt anybody.

Check out http://www.6degrees.net.nz/ to see Derek's photographs of the adventure (his turned out better than mine). Still .. I can but try ...

Astrophotographer

For some amazing photos, check out:

This guy takes amazing photos of atmospheric phenomenae, aurorae, astronomy, weather, as well as the amazing cloud formations that one can see.

Orders can be placed with him for a very reasonable price - considering the quality of the prints.




Oh and did I mention it's my talented father?
