Searching for Inspiration

Two more weeks of Arts School left and then I have 6 weeks holiday. I am studying sculpture at the moment and struggling with the meaningless brief of creating a sculpture for the purpose of creating a sculpture. Specifically with found objects that have no personal, political or emotional context. I am going crazy.

This rose is so beautiful. If Hope had a colour it would be the colour of this rose.

Karangahape Road

I walk along K road almost every day and there is always some thing or some one interesting. My favourite time of day to walk along K Road is 6pm because everything comes to life.


Sadly, Margritte, one of the familiar faces of K Road usually asking me for a dollar or a smoke, died. Where she used to sit people had created this beautiful little shrine in her remembrance.

Chocolate Chip Cookies!

When Easter Rolls around I bake. I found this awesome jar and it was crying out to be filled up with cookies! I usually bake cakes but this batch turned out so good! 

New Market and Parnell

The other night myself and a few other friends went out and shot some photos. It was freezing cold and I wore three pairs of socks, gloves, hat and a scarf. Here are some of my favourite picks.

Nature!

I went tramping this weekend! It was an epic adventure. We even lugged the camera along so I will post the photos soon!

Inspiration: Bill Cinningham

Yesterday after much encouragement from my cousin Isaac I went to see the Bill Cunningham New York movie and I was blown away by his honesty, modesty and passion for photography. He is constantly working day and night; on the streets in New York, at runway shows and at glitzy fashion events. I always feel self conscious about photographing strangers but he has it down to a fine art.

Grey Lynn Park Festival 2010 

I took this photo last year and it is one of my favs. I am constantly looking at the way people dress. I would love to take photos of people on the street! I just have to be brave enough.
 

Swinging

I was at Grey Lynn Park the other night taking photos with my good friend Misha. Playing on swings was my childhood obsession. Maybe thats why I love swinging trapeze so much.
