Some of the best photos you’ll ever see of New Zealand
Fellow photographer Johan Lolos spent most of 2015 in New Zealand. What he discovered and captured is nothing short of amazing! New Zealand changed me forever.

Now that Scarlett is starting to get old enough I’ve decided we need to start exploring NZ more! Fiordland -… Read more »

Two day trips to Christchurch in one week!
Last week I flew to Christchurch for the day, twice. The first has been planned for a few months. I’m always keep my eye on AirNZ’s GrabASeat website for cheap flights.

I made this short video capturing that trip, check it… Read more »
