Fiordland National Park: New Zealand Photography Adventure, Day 08
Fiordland makes you spoiled. After seeing Mitre Peak rising 5000 feet straight up from Milford Sound, mere mountains just don’t do it for you anymore. You see the endless 1000 foot waterfalls cascading down sheer cliffs and suddenly your backyard falls don’t quite cut the mustard. Any old river coursing through hilly terrain? Boring once […]
Te Anau: NEW ZEALAND PHOTOGRAPHY ADVENTURE, DAY 07
It’s always good to see old friends. And even better when they turn up in unexpected places like Queenstown, New Zealand. My college roommate, Dustin, had just finished a cruise between New Zealand and Australia and decided to hop back over to NZ for a few days before he returned to his job designing robots […]
Shades of Gray
Taken at Hooker Lake in Mt. Cook / Aoraki National Park, New Zealand on April 10th, 2012 A moody, rainy day in Mt Cook National Park made me want to go on a walk. The dramatic clouds and milky glacial runoff lent themselves beautifully to black and white photography.
Aoraki / Mt. Cook National Park: New Zealand Photography Adventure, Day 06
A moody, rainy day in Mt Cook National Park means it’s time to go for a walk. The dramatic clouds and milky glacial runoff lent themselves beautifully to black and white photography.
Lake Ruataniwha: New Zealand Photography Adventure, Day 05
I’ve stayed in my fair share of weird hostels and the High Country Lodge in Twizel surely ranks up there with the strangest of them. There is a clock on the wall with no hour hand and even though it still ticks every second, the time never changes. That’s not really why the hostel is […]
Matukituki Gold
Taken at that Matukituki River in Mt. Aspiring National Park, South Island, New Zealand on April 8th, 2012
Wanaka Dreaming

Mt. Aspiring National Park: New Zealand Photography Adventure, Day 04
I learned a lot about locksmiths today. Did you know that you can become one through a correspondence course? Or that you don’t need a license to locksmith but if the Old Boys don’t like you will never be able to buy any locksmithing tools? But the most interesting thing I learned about locksmiths today […]
Wanaka: New Zealand Photography Adventure, Day 03
How far would you go for a tree? Last night I realized that I flew halfway around the world for one. If this seems crazy to you please realize that this is no ordinary tree. Nay, it’s the famous Wanaka Willow, quite possibly the coolest tree I’ve personally ever seen. It’s like a bonzai on […]
Arrowtown and Glenorchy: New Zealand Photography Adventure, Day 02
Glacial meltwater is cold; don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. And it seems even colder when you’re all by yourself in a remote valley where the only sounds are the gurgling of a river and the cries of some nocturnal hawk. Another fun fact you may wish to keep in mind should you find yourself […]
Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu: New Zealand Photography Adventure, Day 01
The plane hasn’t even taken off yet and I’m already overstimulated. There are enough movies and tv shows provided by the on-board entertainment system to fill a dozen trans-pacific flights. Will I even sleep on this overnighter, or will I just stuff myself with this glut of media? It’s a bit of a silly question: […]
