TAKE YOUR PICK

There has been a smorgasbord of swell, surf and waves recently – much of it coupled with favourable winds. An impressive stretch of conditions providing ample days to visit the beach and get some photos. Take your pick.

JUST AN IDEA

I can't remember when I made the decision to shoot black & white for winter, which suggests it was just a passing idea. No particular reason.

However passing, it looks like it stuck.

Now coupled with the 1:1 aspect ratio that I've been shooting in for just over a year, it could be that my admiration for Vivian Maier and Jane Bown has unintentionally made its way into my approach...well, for winter anyway.

ARGE! WINTER ARRIVES

Winter, it was bound to happen!

With some good luck and a favourable wind direction, it can remain quite mild at this time of year, despite the light in each day dwindling to permanent darkness.

But everyone knows the country is on the precipice of a wintry slap. But when, for how long, cold or wet...or both.

And then it happened! A morning of sleet and snow.

The snow had gathered on some cars inbound from the country, and out in the fields a veil of white leaned to the idea that it was starting to settle, no doubt sending thrill seekers into lofts and garages in search of dust covered toboggans.

In town the delicate flakes stood no chance, patches of ice & sleet congregated in places pretending to be snow, but the commuters and school kids were just left with a wet and parky morning as an introduction to the upcoming months.
