I had been missing ChrisW's beautiful photographs. Such sad news.

I loved Chris' chronicling of the riverbank life. For example. Or this.

Great series of images on those pages. Thanks Chris.
I spent last weekend in Gisborne, which is where Chris lived, and thought I’d post a few from there. I’ve been down that way three times this year, and it is a truly beautiful part of the world.
First three from Anaura Bay, about an hour north of Gisborne.

So, these were the first of his pictures I noticed – something about the combination of crisp clear light and the unusual framing…. and the commentary.
spidery engineeringand these two
then an endless parade of pictures of the riverbank, the walnut tree, the grapevine, the local bird and rat life.I'll pick out some more tomorrow.

Very sad to hear of ChrisW's death - his pictures (and comments) here always conveyed a love of, and engagement with, his surroundings, the land, its occupants and the environment.

Last time I was at Pt Chevalier Beach, the tide was out, the pohutukawa had finished flowering, the sky was boring - so I had to liven it up a bit.

Hebe,
I am also saddened by ChrisW not being around here, and I have missed him. I loved his river life pictures and many others. Once I got through thinking he was also Chris Waugh, I saw a patient and generous photographer with a love of place and people. He taught me a lot.

I’ve been pretty urban lately, but here’s the United Nations.
You reminded me of the ‘Non-violence’ sculpture outside the UN building.
Photographed here with keen young man in 1993.

I was very sad to hear of ChrisW's passing. I loved his pictures, and particularly his way of always finding new things in his familiar garden and riverbank. Careful observation brings great rewards!
