RHYTHM AND VINES MUSIC FESTIVAL

I answered a very spontaneous call on Boxing Day to fly to Gisborne the following morning to shoot NZ's biggest music festival Rhythm and Vines. Set amongst the gorgeous natural amphitheatre of the Waiohika Estate Vineyard there was a huge range of energy packed yet intimate acts enjoyed by over 20,000 fans over three action packed days. A far cry from breaking down on Christmas Day and getting towed home sans presents and xmas dinner I was happily surprised to be flown down in a private jet from Auckland with Moby, jet around in helicopters and be put up in a fabulous room in a 4 million dollar mansion for a week with pool and tennis court. Doesn't get much better than that! Here are a few shots from the Festival. There are several images circulating on the festival website home page, so have a look! www.rhythmandvines.co.nz

Time for a bit of a holiday now me thinks...! Mountain biking in Rotorua, hot springs and climbing volcanoes in Taupo, then a week on the beach in Coromandel. Yeehah!
