As it’s a lazy Sunday and all… have been looking through a few images taken from my last trip back to New Zealand. There’s one particular beach just over an hour’s drive north from my home in Auckland. You can drive up there on a Sunday morning and literally have the whole beach to yourself. It’s an amazing part of the world with a nice little wave peeling in, perfect for longboards. But perhaps one of my favourite things about this beach is that you can rock up in your car, don’t have to pay for parking, and you can pitch your tent where you like and spend a day or two in the most beautiful part of the world whenever you like!

A break in the weather gave me a window of half an hour to run round and grab some photos of the Pageant of Power, Cholmondeley. Lucky there was some sun otherwise there would only be close-up shots of V12 engines! A fantastic setting down in the Cheshire country-side, the pageant of power is essentially a festival for those who prefer the smell of gasoline to music. Although some might argue, the sound of a supercharged V12 engine is music to ones ears!

So i’ll be heading down to grab a few photos of the festivities. It sounds like the Isla Gladstone Conservatory has had a very colourful history… being burned down, left to neglect, and now has been restored and standing proud in the re-furbished Stanley Park. It’s been a pleasure to be part of its first year with lots of great events going on in the summer.
tonight is sure to be another one! Like most other glasshouses it’s a fantastic venue for photography with lovely light filtering through from different angles. Here’s a few photographs from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce 160th birthday from a couple of weeks back…

Ph Creative – these guys are not your typical creative agency. It seems they like to kick the bog-standard old school design malarcky well into touch. So the brief was to capture their fresh creative take on things in the form of a few relaxed photographs. Without further adieu…
