Renewed
A late season snow storm absolutely transformed the entire landscape, high up in the mountains. The snow was like porcelain and light soft and gentle as it painted the snow laden clouds. You can see the whole adventure on my Youtube channel here.

First Love
When I first started out, one of the first things I wanted to capture with my camera was a waterfall. Here we are, well over a decade later and innumerable waterfalls and I still can’t get enough. I’ve been drawn to waterfalls and green forests since I was a child. Here’s a beautiful one on the West Coast of the South Island.

Fall With Me
A hidden waterfall tucked away beneath the mountains. I’d shared this location with friends when I created this image, as the gorgeous winter light crept into the canyon. Upon returning a month later, I discovered a landslide had caused trees to fall and the whole area is now quite destroyed. Nature gives and takes.
