Spring has sprung!

After so much rain it was a little miracle that the sun shone & the daffodils bloomed for this pre wedding shoot with Imogen & Brad in Cornwall park a couple of days ago.  Im turned up with this yellow balloon which was a stroke of genius and tied in perfectly with the sun and the daffodils.  Cornwall park was chosen as it was a special place Imogens grandfather used to walk every day.  Right at the end the balloon broke free and drifted up to the heavens, MAGIC!

Sam Mitchell wins wallace art award

My absolute favorite NZ artist Sam Mitchell (Anna Bibby Gallery) has just won the Wallace Art Award!!! Go Sam! I was spoiled rotten for my last birthday... Dion gave me one of her paintings on perspex titled 'the saint' (a bit of a raunchy affair) and Mum and Dad gave me a beautiful tocan painting. The Karen Walker store in Ponsonby has a couple of her budgies on their glass doors that are worth a look for anyone interested.

Corrine Day RIP

One of my photographic heroes Corrine Day has passed away.  She made Kate Moss famous with her natural reportage style fashion photos.

I Am Love

Being that I love food, Tilda Swinton, all things Italian it was really easy for me to love this movie.  I also managed to escape dreary wet old Auckland for a few hours... and it made me want to learn Italian and go to seafood cooking classes, and visit a field of long grass filled with insects, bella belissima!  XX
