In Maori legend, the fiords were created not by rivers of ice, but by Tu Te Raki Whanoa, a godly figure who came wielding a magical adze and uttering incantations. Milford Sound (Piopiotahi) is without doubt his finest sculpture. |

At 3754 metres, New Zealand's tallest peak is known as Aoraki by Maori. According to legend, Aoraki was a young boy in the canoe Te Waka a Aoraki, which was stranded on a reef and tilted to one side. Aoraki and his brothers climbed to the high side and sat on the wreckage. The south wind froze them and turned them into stone, creating the Southern Alps/Ka Tiritiri o te Moana. |

The Rapaki Track follows the line of a principal Maori route from the plains to Whakaraupo (Lyttelton Harbour). There are strong Maori traditions associated with the Port Hills. The Maori names of many of the hilltops and outcrops of the Port Hills are still known though not in common use. There was known to be a pa from at least Ngati Mamoe times near the top of Mount Pleasant (Tauhinu Korokio). |

Here you will find a selection of my Photos that have been manipulated in many different ways. I use Photoshop CS2, along with a wide range of digital, 35mm, medium and large format cameras. I also use various types of film including Polaroid SX-70, 665 and 669 allowing me to experiment with emulsion transfers, emulsion lifts and manipulations. Enjoy! |
