I discovered a passion for landscape photography while tramping in the Tararua Mountain Ranges, an hour north of Wellington. Many trips were embarked upon with family and friends, and my trusty 35mm SLR film camera captured these early adventures.

As my photographic experience and skills grew, opportunities arose to sell prints in several Wellington galleries. My photographic style is still very much influenced by those early days, and some of the images on this website were taken on film. Even though I now use a digital SLR camera, I still like my images to look as natural as possible.

Of particular interest to me is depicting the landscape in all its moods, from calm and serene, to rugged and wild. I hope you enjoy these images, and if you have any enquiries or would like to purchase a photo on canvas, please visit my contact page.

The Milford Track:

In late 2013 I walked the Milford Track with family, and added several photos from this awe inspiring walk to the forests and mountains gallery. The scenery on the Milford Track was amazing, and we met lots of interesting people from here and overseas.

Although this is primarily a photography website, I also write poetry, and here is my Milford Track poem:

The Milford Track

Through mist and Milford tales

On Lake Te Anau we sail

Packs are shouldered, near to shore

The finest walk in the world, we’re ready for

 

A cultured path finds the beautiful glade

Onwards to Clinton with friends newly made

By jade waters, through forest and prairie

To a lake called Mintaro, resting most fairly

 

Mackinnon Pass beckons from on high

Upwards we climb, each step a wonder of peaks and sky

From golden heights to valley green we journey once more

The Sutherland Falls fills us with awe

 

Ambling the Arthur valley we are seduced

By calm waters and peaceful recluse

Amidst much birdsong and good cheer

We reach Milford Sound, our finest walk beyond compare
