This is what people look like when they win a million dollars on a spinning wheel. Mouths wide open seems to be mandatory.
Te Araroa – The Long Pathway opens
Te Araroa – The Long Pathway was officially opened on Saturday at Shorland Park, Island Bay by Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae. 17 years in the making, Te Araroa is a 3000-km trail stretching from Cape Reinga in the North of New Zealand to Bluff in the South. The trail goes down the coastline, through the forest, across farmland, over volcanoes and mountain passes, along river valleys, and on green pathways through seven cities.

36 head-shots in 31 minutes
One of the more challenging assignment requests I’ve had recently was to photograph 36 people at a hui at Tapu Te Ranga Marae for individual head and shoulders portraits. Nothing unusual about that until told they would have a 40 minute window for the photograpy. Normally I would allow 5- 10 minutes per person but decided to take on the assignment and make it work. Shooting time was 31 minutes. Thanks to Ahenata and the folk at NZQA for being so organised on the day.

All Blacks v Springboks 30 July 2011
I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to photograph the All Blacks game at The Caketin on Saturday. Loved seeing Cory Jane back at his best, and Conrad Smith is always a joy to watch.

Christchurch earthquake
I went to Christchurch to cover the earthquake for Bloomberg News. Here are a few of the hundreds of images I shot.
