It’s actually been up for a while, but here’s a link to my Milford Track set of photos (March 2009). The scenery was incredible - without a doubt the most beautiful thing I have seen anywhere in the world. The second day brought 150mm of rain which meant we were wading through metre deep water at points, but also got to see Fiordland at its finest! Water everywhere - waterfalls on every cliff face - proclaiming God’s glory.  Highly recommend this to anyone. To view the set click here, or go here to view the slideshow

At long last, my Morocco photos have been pushed online.  The trip was amazing - we travelled over 2000 km and saw crowds of people, colours, amazing smells, tastes, sounds, deserts, camels, berber tea, the sea, you name it…  They say a trip to Morocco challenges all senses and it definitely did for us.  Hopefully these photos capture a wee bit of it.

I’ve been needing a business card for a while, so got an artists A4 Board Pad (thick card for drawing & painting) and had a play around with different ideas.

I’ve just got hold of a cheap Canon inkjet printer + scanner, so figured would be cool to print a colour photo of some sort on the back. In the end I came up with the idea of printing a photo on one side, then printing my contact details on the other - meaning each card had a unique sky+cloud snapshot on the back.  I’m pretty pleased with the overall effect.

As a way of coping with the vast backlog of photos from travels last year, I’m posting a photo a day to Flickr and posting a link to it on Twitter.

The photo of the day link will also appear on this website in my Twitter feed (to the right hand side below the title, “Twitter Updates”) and can be viewed on Toastcrumbs in the Morocco photo set (which is obviously growing by the day).

Posting daily means I don’t have to worry about editing all the photos at once, gives me more time to think about which photos are worth uploading and I think is more interesting than just having a huge number to view all at once. I’d appreciate comments if you have any.

An early morning drive from Christchurch to Wainui (near Akaroa). Lovely clouds and early morning sunshine meant I wasted half an hour taking photos en-route.
