    What you said, Jackson, except that I prefer Camera+. The iPhone is great for being there, and the pix are good enough to use off the web (at a pinch).

    Our inglorious government’s assets sales – that of Mighty River Power in particular – is well on the way to causing me grief now, after the anger, and then the lost hope

    Good grief, quite apart from the economic sabotage, it’s enough to make one angry!

    Thanks Chris for that sincere heart wrenching feeling that should be looming across the country and at least 400,000 other Nzrs feel the same }:(

    Heart-wrenched indeed. It gets another prod whenever I see the ads all over local websites, featuring the concrete penstocks of Maraetai II plunging over a rock face, and the bright lights of Dunedin. "The Crown is considering ...".

    Weasels.

    which has been a revelation

    Yes, I got one late last year and haven't really taken it off the bike except as a bag to carry stuff. Damned useful. It is my cheap shopping bike now.

    Yep, Camera+ works really well for me, although most of the effects filters are less than useful and I wish the built-in post-to-Twitter part was z bit more of a Twitter client. For snaps from low-light scenes, the Clarity button is amazing.

    And, of course, it shares a key developer with Public Address :-)

    Classic in Swanson

    gaze upon my works…

    Archeological find in Takapuna

    Well dug,
    but how do you pronounce it?
    :- )
    McKenzie

    The Anglicised Mackenzie had originally been pronounced “Mackaingye” – with a modern English Y sound represented with the letter yogh ȝ.

    and Swanson’s classic Yozin as well?

    will future archaeologists need a Rosetta Tone
    to arrive at sound conclusions?
    (or even an MP3 player?)

    A High Street, Christchurch photo from last year . This place has significance for me because it was where I discovered the Shirley Temple scrapbook, which set me off on a investigation, which will take me to film archives in the USA next month.

    I really like the juxtaposition of signs…

    The water gathering asters could bring back life to the lone and level sands of the poem, eh? Ignore me, I've just taken a sleeping tab cos it's too hot to slleeeeep.

    Still hot. Off St George’s Bay Road, lower Parnell. (first posting up the wrong way, but I quite like it…. )

    Was down that way to have a look at a group exhibition a friend is part of.

    Interesting works…. including Tracy Porteous photographs. Show on till the end of this week. Pearce Gallery. 130 St Georges Bay Road.

    Crane fly, on the wrong side of a fly screen, but incidentally giving a little lead-light windows class to my kitchen.

    It seemed trapped and needing help, so I did indeed open up and help it out without breaking any of those long delicate legs.

    It seemed trapped and needing help, so I did indeed open up and help it out without breaking any of those long delicate legs.

    So today it was gratifying to see these two only a few metres from that window two days later, and imagine the bigger one was enjoying the freedom she’d regained. They'd found a comfortable quilted bed of generous size, and have numerous long legs to hook around the edges to brace themselves.

    Closer view – they’re definitely down to business. I like their shadows, and the pattern of leaf venation they show up too. About this point they appeared to consider the photographer to be overly intrusive, and …

    Unitedly decamped to a nearby boulder bed.
