Go on, take a closer look.

The Hector

A couple of years ago I did a project which looked at New Zealand's science history.

It was pretty good ... in my opinion.

I didn't blog it at the time but I've been looking through those photos again recently and discovered this bunch of unused shoots.

Rather nice they are too ... in my opinion.

The Viaduct

There's plenty more where that came from.

Let me tell you.

The Mountains

The Chairs

The Female

The Male

The Monumental

The Vantage

A lake. With a pinhole camera.

From two vantage points.

Including a self-portrait.

Of sorts.

The Footloose

Just fyi, not taken by me.

Further fyi, that's an Olympus XA2 in front of my face, a Hasselblad 503CX around my neck, and a Gossen VarioSix F2 lightmeter in my hand.

I'm clearly under the pretense that I'm a photographer.

As in this photo also.

But why no feet? (Or head/legs/back/arms?)

The Gourmand

On my recent trip to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, I caught myself going to a cafe or two.

Or three. Or four.

A day.

I found Australian beer remarkably bland. This one was okay though from memory.

The Reckless

Those of you with long memories will remember back in 2010 I was given a pinhole camera by a friend.

I used it a little bit around that time and while it has definitely roadtripped with me since it hasn't been used.

Last weekend I finally got around to developing some of the shots I took with it that July.

The main reason for the delay was the working out exactly how I was going to develop the negatives seeing as I no longer had ready access to a darkroom suitable for tray developing 4x5 film.

So I just went bugger it and used my 4x5 tank and stand developed for two and a half hours and got great results.

By nice coincidence this weekend I'm heading back to where these shots were taken.

And I think I'll take the pinhole along for the ride.
