The Society shoots it's own.

So after a bit of a hiatus members of the Society got together to try our hands at shooting portraits of an elected member in their own environment.

We picked on Ben this time around - you might recognise him from my blog :)

I shot these freehand on as slow a shutterspeed as I could handle and the ISO cranked to a paltry 400.

Next week we pick on someone else........oh Meeeeeeeesh....what you up to next week?

Dogs bro, dogs

Yay! My dogs! They are Furry!

Yeah, one of those posts :)

These guys are the eyes and ears of our family, literally. No monitored alarm will ever tell me someone is creeping around my car as well as these guys.

Pecha Kucha @ABA August 2011

So with the help of Luka I managed to go along to the last Pecha Kucha which was in the really cool setting of the Auckland Boxing Association gym on Eden Terrace - man that place is cool from a brotographers standpoint :)

The lineup of speakers were an ecclectic bunch with topics ranging from Frocks on Bikes to the best damned Cray Fisher to ever drop a pot in the ocean.

I cannot express how much fun these are and if you get the chance to attend one please, please take it!

The Port

So Brendini and I wandered off to Port Waikato a few weekends ago to see how winter was doing on the Wild South West coast of Auckland - and it was doing just fine. If by fine you mean smashed sand dunes, cliff erosion and dead birds.

The thing I love about this place is it's lack of pretense - the place is what it is and sometimes that isn't pretty but that's what adds to it's charm. It may not be Hahei but for sheer blood and guts I reckon it's a winner.

Spraybeast - the Southside connection

Askew, Berst and Kost took to painting, documenting and chroming - all for a good cause.
