A blog from a bloke who is in the process of changing from an angry young man to cynical middle age.....

Good days…..
I guess that if I ever get really good at photography I will look on these with a patronising smile. But as it stands these are a cut above what I have snapped for some time. For me at least, digital is great it’s not just that I can have several attempts at something (but not that many attempts) but that I compose with confidence and don't worry about the cost of a roll. These have been Photoshopped but not too much.
We were staying at Kai Iwi lakes with the rellies for a few days whilst touring Northland - the day before I had cycled all the way from the shore to Dargaville. Little bloke, my wife and I eschewed the lakes for a walk to the beach in the evening and were duly rewarded with a warm, spotless, empty beach. Something about the location and being properly on holiday really prompted a different state of mind.
Born in the Middle East to a Scot and a lapsed Jew. Lived as an expat for much of my life. Living cliché with a history of deviance and wasted talent. Redeemed by sport and a late but valuable education. Currently living in New Zealand. The finishing touch to the tale would be if I ever really manage to achieve something. Which reminds me...why am I hanging around here ?
