WAI O TAPU - Sacred Waters

Nestled deep in the heart of the geothermal wonderland that is Rotorua, Wai o Tapu is a rich mixture of mood, colour and texture, not to mention smell. It's a wonderful testament to the earth's deep internal power come forth to the surface to be experienced by us above. It's one of my favourite places in NZ to photograph. From the artist's palette that is the Champagne

pool, the eery greens of the Devil's Chasm and the bubbling swirls of molten rock and clay creating ever moving patterns... I love it!

NIGHT CHAMELEON

I originally photographed the lovely Frances Alice Beatrice Scott at the Rhythm and Vines Festival in Gisborne. I was deeply impressed with her natural, spontaneous & zesty creative flair in front of the camera. We reconnected in Auckland a week or so ago on my birthday and decided to do a spontaneous all night shoot on the Auckland Waterfront together. Love the results...!
