The seating at one of our local restaurants is so bright and inviting. I've taken many a wonderful portrait a Mama Testa in San Diego, CA. Usually accompanied by one of their yummy margaritas and a dish of tortilla soup.

There are lots of ferrys between the islands of New Zealand. This one brought us from Wellington to PIcton on a wonderfully clear and sunny day. I took about four shots and this framing seemed perfect. Gives you a sneaky peek and the undercarriage!

This is one of my favorite portraits. I've never considered chickens to be terribly personable, honestly I rarely consider them at all unless it's lunchtime. The look of this guy - as if to say "Hay you! Take off!" Very determined and very curt. Quite a formidable portrait.

Anyone would be hard-pressed to get a lousy photo of these inspiring shores around Lion Rock. The rich black sand and endless ocean offer hours of staring off in to the distance time.

Sometiems you just have to pull over and take the shot. Regardless of how windy and cold and busy the highway is. Just make it fast.

In the States we don't get a "flat white" which is probably a good thing, else I'd be twitchy and rumbly in my stomach all day everyday. The three of us had begun our ramblings early in the day, hence the bright, long shadows on our coffee. Oh, I do miss it so.

Plants are quite possibly my favorite subject matter. They're quiet, they don't expect pay and they can hold very still for incredible amouts of time. This bloom is bigger than my head.

The sculptures in the farmer's market at Christchurch always remind me of Easter Island - if it were carved by Incans.

On a beautifully cold and clear day we drove around Queenstown and went off-roading in the mountain pass. Spring had not yet fully arrived and the bare trees served as such wonderful accents to the scenery.

Donec ullamcorper libero vel magna pulvinar laoreet. Cras vel augue ac velit commodo blandit. Vestibulum a mi id nulla ultrices commodo. Nunc fringilla pulvinar interdum. Maecenas odio lacus, lobortis sagittis ornare in, lobortis ac massa. Nulla in sapien metus. Suspendisse potenti. Maecenas rhoncus, arcu ac placerat ornare, metus turpis dapibus ipsum, nec pulvinar nisl purus non libero. Vivamus non venenatis est. Nunc et massa vitae velit suscipit blandit. Suspendisse ac est arcu. Morbi condimentum, enim et varius condimentum, tellus mi euismod lorem, non faucibus dolor neque ac enim.

Some girls are just easy to photograph. Carefree smiles and no concerns about how they may or may not look in the shot. Such a fantastic thing to come across.

This is easily my favorite photo I've ever taken. The three women, almost perfectly divided scene and two distinct lightings. My mother, my niece and my sister. All very busy and incredibly enough all of them were regarding me at the moment: Mom was explaing to me about the goat they're getting, my niece was preparing a presentation of the images she'd just shot and my sister was digging a book out of her bag for me to read. Still all three look completely isolated.
