I have always had a love of capturing images and in my early teens took many photographs on my little Kodak camera. I loved the wild open spaces and bird life in particular and longed to be able to be an accomplished photographer. It took ill health and a forced early retirement to re-kindle this love of photography. I am a self-taught amateur photographer who has had no formal training. I take great pride and joy in my work and these days have the time to pursue this wonderful hobby.

    You could go north Ralph, that’s my home right up the top, Bay of Islands etc etc, you would love it, quite different to the south!!

  • I have been up there twice before Jenny and on both occasions it was lousy weather.
