NZPhotographer Issue 61, November 2022

I’ve been a keen photographer since receiving my first Pentax DSLR from
my brother before heading off on my OE. I’m now a total Olympus convert
and love shooting with my EM5 MKIII. I’ve been a member of the Dunedin
Photographic Society for about 12 years and enjoy the great friendships
this has brought, along with the expansion of my photographic knowledge
and skills. My favourite thing to do is wander the streets with my camera
and capture random street scenes and abstract architectural shots.

WHAT’S IN THE WINDOW?
I have a bit of a fascination with windows and particularly the things people leave in them. This series is a
selection of my many window images.
The first one that piqued my interest was the photo of the pink lady. This was taken during a walk around
Christchurch. I was initially drawn to the fantastic yellow lampshades and then spotted the little pink
lady on the windowsill.
I love the collection of items in the second window - where’s the other green glove?! The cloud window
is a little different, but my eye was caught by how the reflection of the cloud lined up perfectly with the
smashed window, creating some sort of portal to another dimension.
During lockdown in 2020, people were popping teddy bears in their windows for kids (and
photographers) to find around their neighbourhood. This polar bear was one of my favourites from
wandering around my local streets.
