Things that are broken – a photography challenge …

Every week I get an email from the Digital Photography School with lots of interesting articles, tips and challenges.  I just couldn’t let this one go past without giving it a go. (and if you know me at all you will know that there is no shortage of broken things at my house)

The dog photo is included in this post – not because she is broken – but because she is really peeved with me, I just gave her a bath and she wouldn’t look at me or acknowledge me for the entire afternoon – I think I might be forgiven now, but I have no way of telling because she is fast asleep in front of the heater (with her back to me oddly enough!?)  Oh well, I am sure I will be the love of her life again tomorrow at breakfast time.

Enjoy the post … can you tell what each photograph is of?

 

One Sunday at the park … …

 

 

 

One of the hardest things I have ever had to do – sit in the backseat and be driven around by my daughter and her friend! But at least we went to the park for a photo shoot.  Sometimes I wonder if maybe they are just using me for my camera? Nah – surely they just love to spend quality time with me?  Oh well – never mind – at least they look good in the pics.  Here’s to Britty and Kate ..

 

 

 

Party like it’s your birthday …

Was recently asked to photograph a 13 year old’s birthday party. I forgot how much fun it was being that age! So much laughing, dancing and having a blast…

Te Uku Wind farm

Went on a huge adventure with school the other day – all the way up to the Te Uku Wind farm.

There are 28 turbines up here and the view is amazing.  All the way from Kawhia and Aotea Harbor – through to Karioi, Whaingaroa, Te Uku and Waitetuna.

AMAZING!

People …

It is not all as simple as black and white – people are people are people, we are all unique in our own special ways …

The Whaingaroa Youth Movement 2010 production was yet another success created by Patti and performed by our amazingly talented children.

Enjoy the pictures – there are more to come.

Raglan Off Road Challenge …

Saturday  23 October 2010.  The Raglan Off Road Challenge was amazing.  Great weather and an awesome course with views to die for.  Kayak, run and bike.

Here are some of the pics from the day.  If there are any photographs you like just contact me about purchasing them.  Also contact me if there is anything you think I might have captured on film that aren’t on here.  Keep posted as I will add more photos over the next week or so.  Also check out my Facebook page.  Linda Holmes Photography (I am the one from New Zealand not Texas!?)

Cheers

Summer is coming …

Nothing quite like a day fishing at the bar (even if nothing was caught)
