From the non series – Views I am very familiar with but see rarely this days. I love this – I think the building is part of St Peter’s Cathedral – well, it is right beside it – the path to the left leads up to the cathedral, in southern Victoria Street, Hamilton, New Zealand on the edge of Hamilton’s CBD.

17/6/2010 Biddy Mulligans, Hamilton, New Zealand. #cough# – yes, that’s me I’m afraid – a bit of a cold – a little rough to start but we get there. I’m fairly sure there will be a reprise tonight.
One time thing – Chris Thompson, Julie Grace and E-man
Biddy Mulligans, Hamilton, NZ last night – 17/6/2010. Sorry Chris, I didn’t catch the songwriter’s name. There will be another couple of clips soonish. Will do the YouTube thing later. Made with the mighty G10.
Chris says –
One Time Thing was written by the great Michael Chapman who is alive and kicking and touring with Bidget St.John in England [..] Glad I got a chance to do this one – especially with Julie and E-Man!

Bright day deep shadows and a frost tonight
I took two photographs today; this is the better. We were talking in the week – digital v film – how easy it is to get the runs with digital – image capture diarrhoea – too much too easily. I struggle always to be less precious in my image making. Everything here is intentional – the wonky horizon line, the mucking about with thirds, the perspective. That there is a water bottle sitting in the middle of it all – I have just noticed – simply underlines the bad working practise I more often than not indulge myself in – getting the acquisition / edit thing all back to front – less is more. See the image, make / take the photo, move on – it’s not that hard really. This is one of the most satisfying images I have taken in a long while. Time from seeing to taking about 90 seconds – I had to turn the car around! This is so Waikato – I obviously should get out more.
