A recent addition to my collection of work horses. A 1958 Leica M2 and Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.4. Check out the weight! It’s a featherweight compared to a DSLR. Compared to the Canon 5D I had a long time ago it’s about 1/4 of the weight. Shooting rangefinder and medium format cameras has been the...

I can’t believe how great the food is here in New Zealand, I’ve seriously been missing out! I’ve eaten like a king the last few days, been privileged to shoot an amazing wedding, and been able to catch up with friends and family. It looks like I won’t get the scans from the wedding until...

We were messing around the other day to see what we could do with some cool shadows from the trees. We had fun trying to compose these shots as passers-by watched us like we were crazy. I love the intense looks in these portraits, quite different to our usual selves! Jason (left) Eiko (right). Contax...

I’m going to really miss photographing around areas like this. These were taken in Daikanyama, Tokyo, Japan. This area is quite well known for it’s great cafe’s and shopping. It’s a higher class area so it was fun to roam the back streets and find some really interesting houses and stores. I’ll be posting more...

Been having fun with my Mamiya C330 Professional f twin lens reflex recently. It has the Mamiya Sekor 80mm f/2.8 lens and so far has been so much fun to use. I’ve shot a couple of rolls so they will be getting developed this weekend and I’ll post some of photos next week. I’m really...
