OK, the plan is to shoot, write and post from the holiday. We’re reliving our past taking the kids with us to retrace our honeymoon in New Zealand, where we were 20 years ago. That first trip was on a motorcycle, this will be in hire cars, the first one I shot with a Bronica,Continue reading “New Zealand holiday 2017”

I’ve been incredibly busy recently, but I have found the time to put together a short video of our recent rafting trip down the Grand Canyon.I took along avaraiety of gear for the trip, but it was pretty well all shot on the E-M5markII.
