Prolepsis @ Dog's Bollix

1 - Auckland band Prolepsis (Riley Al-Johary, Nathan Garton, Paul Field, Carl Hayman) ~myspace/homepage/facebook~ have been moving up in the world since I last caught them, with a new EP, a forthcoming music video, and a bit of coverage in the local tabloid newspaper. I went along to their Thursday night gig at the Dog's Bollix to catch up and shoot a few pixels (more here).

Power-bat in 3...2...1...

1 - Abby provided a perfect model for a short series of autofocus tests examining the utility of multi-point dynamic autofocus whilst shooting at f1.4. Verdict? More research (and funding) required...

Queensberry

1 - Last Monday I was honoured to attend the launch of the new Queensberry 'look' (website, logo, and weblog) - Queensberry produce a range of ultra high quality photo albums, and are likely to become a feature of my wedding photography in the near future. If you look closely at the slideshow on their frontpage, you will come across a black and white version of this photo of Vasi from her wedding at the end of 2007. I'm also very pleased to be featured among a number of top wedding photographers on their photographer profile page. Good show all round!
