As I mentioned in last week's Lost & Found, I didn't need a lot of convincing to work on Dead Letters, the short film we made in 2005. The film follows Ngaire (Yvette Reid), whose job it is to take letters from families during World War II and transfer them to microfilm before sending them overseas, to the New Zealand forces in Europe at the time...
Read MoreIn mid-2005, my friend Gemma Gracewood got in touch to say she was working on a short film called Dead Letters, with fellow producer Fraser Brown and director Paolo Rotondo, which was going to be shot in Wellington - and would I be interested in doing some stills for them...?
Read MoreToday's Lost & Found is an image from the 2010 New Zealand International Arts Festival, and as was so often the case, was something that just happened in front of me when I found myself in exactly the right spot...
Read MoreToday's Lost & Found images come from an event I was just attending, rather than working on - the Cuba Street Carnival night parade in Wellington, New Zealand...
Read MoreToday's Lost & Found is celebrating the start of this year's Formula One season, which begins this weekend at the Albert Park in Melbourne. I've been to a few races there over the years - and a couple in Montreal, too - but in 2003 I managed to find myself in the pit lane on the Wednesday afternoon before the event officially started, sandwiched between the Williams and McLaren pits just as the team decided to get a few trial pit stops under their belts...
Read MoreI was looking through a few images recently from past New Zealand International Arts Festivals, and came across this one from the 2008 opera, The Trial Of The Cannibal Dog, at the Opera House in Wellington...
Read MoreAs I mentioned in last week's post, this Lost & Found image is from a trip to Methven in the South Island of New Zealand I did back in 2003 for a magazine in NYC; because the story was about skiing, it seemed important to try to capture some of the mountains around the town, even though the season wasn't right...
Read MoreIn early 2003, I got an email from a magazine in New York, wondering if I was available to pop down to the South Island for a couple of days, to find some images to accompany a story about skiing in New Zealand. Well, who am I to say no to such a thing?
Read MoreThe Asylum project wrapped up over the weekend, and I managed to get back to the Old 505 Theatre on Thursday and Saturday to photograph the last two blocks of scripts I hadn't had an earlier chance to photograph...
Read MoreThis week's Lost & Found entry comes from the upstate New York town of Wolcott, New York - I was driving through from Montreal to Rochester a few years back (on my way to Eastman House for the first time, which was excellent)...

Read MoreToday's Lost & Found was something that just happened one day on the lawn outside City Gallery, in Wellington's Civic Square - I found out later it wasn't an actual exhibition, someone just did it! I'm not sure it was ever made clear who was responsible...
Read MoreThis Lost & Found is another one from the PSNZ Conference in Whanganui in 2009, when we all got up terribly early for some reason involving light. Something like that. I'm sure it made sense at the time...!
