Somewhere out There

… is my 360 camera. Lost it in NYC last time I was there. I say lost it… it’s complicated but my intentions were good.

NYC Bound!
Daily Photo – NYC Bound!
Heading to NYC soon for a Machine Elf event in Brooklyn is going to be a one-of-a-kind experience that combines art, technology, and imagination. This event promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. But that’s not all! I’m also hard at work preparing for an unforgettable Machine Elf event at Burning Man. It’s the perfect place to showcase the full range of Machine Elf creations with our signature blend of psychedelic visuals and mind-altering concepts, we are ready to take participants on a JOURNEY they won’t soon forget.
And let’s not forget the annual photo walk! Every year, I gather with fellow photography enthusiasts in the awe-inspiring desert to capture the essence of Burning Man through our lenses. The barren landscapes and striking art of the playa provide the perfect backdrop for capturing stunning shots that encapsulate the spirit of this unique gathering. It’s always a joy to see familiar faces and meet new friends as we explore the surreal beauty of our surroundings together.
So, gear up, get ready, and join me on these exciting adventures ahead. Follow @machine_elf_worlds on IG for updates and stay tuned for more details. See you in the concrete jungle of Brooklyn and the dusty embrace of Burning Man!

I love it when architects have a bit of freedom to go mad with their building designs. It happened quite a lot in China over the past couple of decades and it was great to see something similar in NYC!

The Edges of the Flatiron in NYC
Daily Photo – The Edges of the Flatiron in NYC
This is the famous Flatiron building in NYC. I shot this while on the hunt for a location to hold a book launch party for something I had been writing at the time… which then went on to be a best seller. Writing books is tough but rewarding for sure. I’d recommend it to anyone, especially now it’s so easy to self-publish. Just be sure to have a great group of proofreaders that you can call on.

Film View of the High Line in New York City
Daily Photo – Film View of the High Line in New York City
I recently re-worked a few of my older photos for an exhibition with Vanity Fair and the Oscars. There was to be a bit of a “film” feel, for obvious reasons, so I went back and used various cross-processing techniques for the shots. This is a process where you push the whites into one color space and the blacks into another. Every scene is completely different, so I may start with a preset but then push it into another direction.

The Action of New York City

Here’s another one of the images from my 1000 Stories from 1000 Places NFT drop. It sold out in minutes, but they are now available to trade on OpenSea and X2Y2, etc so be sure to check them out.
This was difficult to process right but it was a lot of fun. Shots in Manhattan are often filled with all kinds of complex activity, and Times Square amps that all up to the next order of magnitude.
The weather was perfect on this day, and I know that isn’t always the case. Since everything was more or less idyllic, I decided to make the most of it and see how many compositions I could squeeze into the afternoon. The only time I spent waiting around was watching for a few Yellow Cabs to streak by.

The Journey Home
Daily Photo – The Journey Home
It’s been a few months now since I left NZ to head to the US for the first time in YEARS. It’s been quite a crazy time but awesome to finally see the family, friends and there was that Burning Man thing too. Now though I’m starting to edge towards returning home. Last week I was in the Bahamas before a short stop in NYC for a friend’s birthday. Now it’s a case of beginning the slow trek home. Hopefully with a few photography stops along the way.

I think I took this on top of a Ritz-Carlton or Marriott. They were kind enough to let us up there for a quick photo session one evening when we were on the 80 Stays tour. Thanks again cool RC/Marriott people 🙂
