[WELLINGTON ZOO MINI GALLERY] The Wellington Zoo on a cold breezy Sunday. I quickly found out animals do not like cold and breezy Sundays.

Owhiro Bay at the bottom end of the north island. If you look close you can see the interislander ferry as a small white speck. On the horizon, right where the land meets the water on the left hand side.

This is the view from The Terrace Villas [LINK] above Wellington. This view looks a lot nicer than it actually is. I cropped a lot of the ugliness out.

That’d be a donkey. A Horokiwi donkey to be exact. That’s just the name of the little town I was in. I have no idea what kind of donkey it is. It’s woolly, I know that much. I’m getting good at these animals through fences photos [GOAT PHOTO]. Yep, that’s my car. Yeah, it was […]

This is Evan’s bay that I drive by on the way to work. If it’s raining, there’s usually a rainbow there. This is about the fifth one I’ve seen in a week. Need a rainbow photo? Go to Evan’s Bay and wait a few minutes. Camera got rained on. Not good.

Leaving the Wellington airport you get a glimpse into the New Zealand state of mind. On the back I think it should say “…yeah but our allies are packin’ heat.” Wellington’s probably not as nuclear free as they’d like to be. I’d bet more than a few nuclear subs have meandered through Cook Strait. Above […]

[WETA’S ON FIRE MINI GALLERY] Weta’s on fire! Ya know, I sat through at least twenty Imageworks fire drills, and not one of them yielded interesting results. I’m here less than a week and the damn place goes up in smoke.

For about an hour it was sunny so I drove up to the lookout point on top of Mount Victoria. Don’t get me wrong, it was still cold as a toilet seat made of ice. Yeah, yeah, I know it looks like the clouds are smoke from the cannon. Kinda why I took the picture. […]

My first official New Zealand shot. I can now say that I brought to many pairs of shorts to New Zealand. Even funnier is the notion that I brought a swimsuit. Who am I kidding? Look at that. That’s penguin weather. I ventured out to the west coast of NZ today to see some real […]

Happy Independance Day! Hold on, they don’t do that here. Oh, well next best thing. A car auction! Friend George [LINK] needs a new car because basically his sucks. So we head off to an auction in my cool ass rental car with cd player and overhead light that no one else can seem to […]

After about 10 hours I arrived in Auckland at 4:30 in the morning. Since the international terminal is not anywhere near the domestic one you have to walk. Finding myself dragging 1000lbs of baggage in 40 degrees from the international terminal to the domestic one I’m cranky. Off to a good start. I completely missed […]

Woo Hoo! Off to New Zealand, Weta, and Lord of the Rings! I’m trading in my warm L.A. summer for a blustery winter in New Zealand. My parents drove up tonight to drop me off at the airport. They figured they weren’t going to see me for about 6 months so they hung with me […]

[ELVIS WEDDING VIDEO] Took off Sunday to Vegas for Charles and Lisa’s Wedding. We all stayed at the Paris Hotel and ate, and ate, and ate, and gambled, and gambled, and gambled… I caught a cold. There were a shit load of cowboys in town too. The National Rodeo finals were going on and when […]

[AUSTRALIA 1.0 GALLERY] Traveling in a fried-out combieOn a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said, Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can’t you hear, can’t you hear […]

Matt woke up this morning and wanted boots. He got boots alright.

Matt Kimball, Steve Bell, Nick Walker and two of Matt’s friends, Keith and Kyle and I, are all meeting up in New Orleans for a weekend of music and drinkin’. Since the 911 attacks they suggested getting to the airport early. I got here way to early.

For a architecture fans, this is the infamous Gamble House. For movie buffs, this is Doc Brown’s house in the “Back to the Future” movies. It was a free weekend to view historical houses in Pasadena. Normally there’s no line. You have to wear blue booties on your shoes to enter the house. They’re not […]

Shrek finally opened! I flew down to L.A. to see it with family and friends at Universal City Walk. It had a $42 mil. dollar opening! All the type A people are in the photo. The type B’s are just off screen.

Ben came from Australia to work at PDI/DreamWorks. A newspaper back home was doing an article on Shrek and he needed photos to send to them. So we shot some in the lobby and out front. He’s quite purple for some reason.

I took Mike out hiking to Point Bonita Lighthouse. He complained the whole time. So much for having fun! Ya bastard curmudgeon! It’s only open about 3 hours a day, but fortunately we hit it at the right time. A typically cold and windy day in the Marin headlands. Lot’s of seals down on the […]
