It’s been a really great summer here in NZ, minimal rain and I’ve been able to fit in some fun road trips in the sun. It won’t be long before we start hitting my favorite part of the year though, Autumn… or fall for some of you. Here’s a shot from a few years ago on one of my random walks just as the trees were changing.
I was thinking earlier, as it rained, that it had been a super long time since the last storm here. Queenstown is DRY at the moment and then the humidity kicked in after the showers earlier. Quite the number of seasons all in one short time which hopefully will make for a good sunset later! Here’s one of the few weather types we didn’t get today…
I’m heading out on a short road trip today with some friends… there will be some hot tub fun and we have a crazy idea to record a podcast while on the road. What could go wrong? I guess you’ll find out soon! This image is not of a road, or my destination. But it is a method of transportation… and it is New Zealand. So, it works as a daily photo… right?
This is a new area I discovered near Arrowtown and Queenstown in New Zealand. When the grasses get long in the late summer, they move in the breeze. It’s almost like you can see the wind itself while standing there. Those flying-saucer-shaped clouds are quite rare and are called Lenticulars. When you’re a photographer, you get to collect all sorts of useless information like that.

The walk to my studio is always provides a little bit of inspiration. Sometimes (like today) it’s the cherry blossoms. Other days it’s the changing color of the leaves moving through the seasons…
An ion storm hits Lake Wakatipu here in Queenstown… there are some cool apps you can use to see when big ion storms are coming in. They’re often connected to solar flares and other cosmic activity, and always quite magical to see.
Here’s a photo from a sunset hike in Deer Park Heights in Queenstown, New Zealand.
It’s time for some beautiful morning walks along the beach here in Queenstown. Well, I don’t know if it’s really technically a beach because it’s all rocky. I don’t really like rocky beaches… I like the feel of the webbing of my toes in soft sand… also, I’ve always had pretty sensitive feet so I find walking on rocks to be annoying and I’m too lazy to build up a resistance to it. That ship has sailed…
Here is another of the special animated creations for the recent drop on OpenSea. Speaking of NFTs… keep your eyes peeled for an announcement in the coming days. Nearing completion of the latest project and I’m fairly sure you’ll never guess what it is!
This is where I live! Queenstown is on the South Island of New Zealand and it is a big destination for snow sports and all other sorts of adventure activities. This is one of my favorite places to watch the city below and it’s also a launching point where I would paraglide off the edge and soar across the city before landing in a little park below.
