I explained to her that I would like to take a photo of a person with all the trees behind, that it was an arty sort of project I was doing. But I didn't really have to, she was happy to have her photo taken. View On Black, it is much larger

I was admiring the textile handiwork on the wire fence, and I looked around to see if there was a person suitably attired. A woman was walking towards me, down the street. I asked her for a moment and held up my camera, she tilted her sunglasses to the back of her head and stood at the fence right here. Much Larger View On White

I said to her that I liked this cats tail, and wanted to photograph it, but it would be much better if she could stand just here in the light, and she did. Nice and Large when you View On Black

I took this photo seven months ago, and I am not sure why I did not post it then. I will post it now though, I have not taken any photos for a couple of weeks as I have been busy on a task here. I took this photo a couple of metres from the previous photo. I do remember that she must have been very trusting because I asked her to follow me around this corner, and stand here in front of this picket fence. On Black & Big

I stood here for a moment and considered other photographs I had taken of this building. Always wondered about it, why are the windows boarded up and painted white, then a young man came along, he was dressed in white too. Very large when you View On Black

I don't really remember if there was any conversation, Just asked her to stand in the doorway while I get a photo. It was one of those days, every fifty metres and there seemed to be another photo. Larger

I was standing out side this favourite café and thinking of some previous photos and the possibility of another one. A young woman approached, with an early morning coffee. I asked her if she would stand in the spot of harsh New Zealand light. She replied "just me, or would you like to photograph the two of us". I had not noticed her boyfriend close by, I said "just yourself would be good". I did not want to complicate my task. I nice big view here on black

The building once had pretensions of grandeur, it was once a bank, now it is a "Burger King". I noticed the patch of early morning light, and when this man crossed my path, I asked him if he would stand there. He said "I'm off to work and dressed like shit" "That's fine" I said, just what I am after. Get much closer to "Burger King by "Viewing On Black"

I pointed out the vertical pattern of light and asked her if she might stand on that concrete block just there. She asked me if she needed to smile. I said "you can if you want to", she did. Bigger and brighter here on White
