Need some inspiration to follow your dreams?
I used to follow Zacks blog for a while there but youknow what it's like, you get caught up in the constant stream of life, but I've just been forwarded a post in his blog... totally inspirational stuff!.

Derrick roks! And what Zack is doing for him is another amazing thing in itself. I love this stuff! Similar to a lot of times we had when we were working around the world on ships, often taking the opportunity to help someone in some way, instead of just ignoring them and moving on. Moving stuff when you think back on it I suppose. I feel really good, as I've been looking for something inspirational to do pro bono but as I'm not in a million people city I have to be a little more careful with such things in a way, anyway last week it came to me... I'm stoked about that and you'll be hearing more about it in due course;)
And if you want to know what it is REALLY like being a photographer, then check this out:

This last one was quite an amazing for me to watch, the trials and viewpoints are so true, his yearly flow has such truth of what it is really like, it's almost like someone describing my life as a photographer!
There is a lot on his blog, but the top video was initiated from a previous post a day earlier- Standing on the dock. If you're like that, on the dock, then dive in, it doesn't hurt, it's not always plain swimming, but it will be one of the most epic things you can do in life, so I say go for it.
Anyway, they're totally inspirational and worth a watch if you aspire through life
Enjoy your day :)

ok so I've been a slacker pt2
Not really=), actually I've been crazy busy and have been playing catch up!
So what's been going on, well last week i think I photographed 10 Open2view properties, 2 models shoots which were way cool, one was around the coast in a metal pit and on a beach, the other was with the model cutting her dress up, I mean literally! she had such a ball and was a pleasure to shoot, and the images are fantastic. A shoot with a couple and their Nissan GTR(which is for sale if you're looking), and to top it off I've been shooting a couple of buildings for the coming New Zealand Architecture Awards, of which we got some really incredibly awesome images of some cool as designs, so I hope they(the Architects) win. Some times I can't help but look at my latest set of images and think they're the best I've created so far, whether they are or not I don't know, but it sure feels like that at times, and if that was the case, then in this past week I've blown myself out of the water again and again with each different shoot. I suppose that is what happens when you're always pushing for that perfect image, the perfect image is only a momentary thing though, it only lasts until the next fantastic idea, design and completion. Out of all I'll admit it is incredible fun!! I LOVE what I do! I keep thinking back to when we did the GTR & couple shoot, I used every piece of lighting equipment in my arsenal, it really was just an amazing shoot and so much fun, I felt like a kid in a candy store!! =) Then doing the architectural work was just as amazing in another way, working totally with available light, watching the effects it has on surfaces and how to use it effectively to show the design at it's optimum. Simple and beautiful. I love shooting architecture, I think it's the simple beauty of it, and although it is a manmade structure it still has to not only fit into it's environment, but enhance it. Really an architecturally designed building is very similar to a highly designed photographic image, where all the thought processes of the designer come into it, learned over years of experience and almost unconsciously, to create the final look just how it was drawn and imagined.... fantastic! I LOVE what I do, did I say that already? =)
I know I should be getting some images up here for you all to see, as soon as I get some spare time I'll get on to it=)
oh I almost forgot... my site got a visit from North Pole today!...shh Santa's watching me;)
Have an amazing day!
