Anyone out here who follows me should know that I’m doing The 100 Days Project.
It’s day 38 and I need some different stimulation other than photography. I’m getting tired of looking at life thru a rectangle. Now I know I’ve said this before, but… these 100 days projects turn into a machine. A machine that only feeds the 100 Days project and It doesn’t help me make the kind of images I want. Some days I don’t feel like shooting, I feel like drawing, gardening, building lego…anything but looking through that rectangle!
So, I’m off to find a pen – a real pen. You know the type, the kind that gets messy/inky. So my next post might be something a little off track. I hear everyone screaming..but… aren’t you supposed to stay on track for 100 Days?
Maybe, but I just don’t care.

I am moved and inspired by The Students of Taiwan. The world is watching!
Hopefully this action in Taiwan will spark a flame in the hearts and minds of people all over the world. Encouraging them to take action against undemocratic governments. These recent events are really testing the flow of information and the free press in Taiwan. A battle much helped by Social Media. Twitter and Facebook have been my only gateways to information that has otherwise been excluded from our (NZ) mainstream media.

The New Zealand government is negotiating an international agreement that could have a huge effect on the lives of ordinary kiwis. It’s called the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), and it involves eleven Asian and Pacific-rim countries, including the United States. If it goes ahead, we risk damage to our innovative economy, our pristine environment, our health, and the ability to shape our own future.
Because the negotiations are being conducted in secret, what we know about the TPPA comes from leaked documents and detective work. We live in a democracy, which means we have the right to know what is done in our name and to have a say.
Here’s a short video explaining the TPPA:

My thoughts are with Master Thich Phuoc An. (Pictured here in Dunedin attending the Dalai Lama visit). After his brutal attack in south Auckland on Friday night.
The Buddhist master hasn’t been back to his temple since he was savagely attacked by three men who left him handcuffed with severe bleeding, bruising and a broken arm.
His attackers wanted money, so he gave them all he could – coins from the donation box. He is struggling with what has happen but will be returning home soon.

The Highlanders where thumped 19-30 by the Brumbies in Dunedin tonight.
The Highlanders get a try just before halftime when Hosea Gear brilliantly surged through three defenders. The try was not allowed, he apparently – according to the TMO anyway – bounced it.

A waterfall in the Otira Gorge, Petrus van der Velden, 1891.
I remember meeting this painting as a young boy at the Dunedin Art Gallery in the late 70’s and falling in love with the scale, texture, depth and gold frame. Read More
