Just came back from New Zealand!

Hey everyone!
Today I just arrived back in Melbourne after a 2 week holiday in New Zealand to visit family and relatives!
I first went to Christchurch to visit my father and see how life is going for him, as he's a painter and has moved to Cch after those earthquakes to paint the rebuilt buildings. It's a lovely city and ALOT has changed after the earthquake. And I took many pictures and films of the various things there.
I then went to Auckland and stayed there for a week as most of my other family lives there, as well as seeing all the changes other the decade (as I was born there). I played on one of the largest pipe organs in the city, and has made plenty of videos and pictures of it.
Then, I went back to Christchurch for the weekend and took a scenic train across the southern alps to Greymouth, it was a spectacular journey and took many photos and films there!
And left Christchurch heading back to Melbourne arriving earlier this morning. I'm intending to make a short film on my trip and might share it if you feel like taking a look.
It was certainly a memorable and inspirational trip (being in Christchurch for the first time) and exploring the Main Land (South Island), certainly against all the odds (my poor state of health).
I'll be putting up photos and videos soon so stay tuned if you're interested!

yes the rebuilding and you're dad's painting. all those things.
expecially pictures that don't have cars in them. nor people acting like they know they're in a photo.
also all the wonderful things people don't usually take photos of.
those are the best.
trains in scenery too.
didn't know about the earthquake.
being in the other hemisphere and on the other side of the pond.
can't afford to travel much, so i have to rely on what people post.
i don't watch or listen to much corporate media,
because they only ever tell about things that don't interest me,
because the things that do, aren't profitable for them to have people be aware of or think about.
(which is why it interests me to make the kind of pictures that i do,
more then what people usually make pictures of)
