I haven’t been back to my Alma Mater Curtin University in many years. When a bunch of Fujifilm shooters decided to catch up for a casual photowalk at Curtin University, I was eager to join to see how much it has changed in the last 10 years. It was a Saturday afternoon, so the campus was like a ghost town.

We had a long drive ahead from Wanaka to Glacier Country on the west coast of New Zealand’s south island. We were staying at a quaint little place called Wanaka Lodge. We got up while it was still dark to have an early morning breakfast and chatted to the lodge owner who was cooking up some egg and bacon. I loved the communal dining room with it’s heavy wooden table and leather couches. it felt like I was in some sort of mountain side log cabin.

We departed Christchurch in the morning and drove over 200km to Lake Tekapo, where we would spend the day and night. Lake Tekapo in the South Island of New Zealand is probably my favourite little small town.

Blurb is a online publishing platform that allows anyone to create, self-publish, share and sell their own prints, wall art, books and ebooks. It’s been a long time since I made a photo book. The last book I made was over a decade ago using Photobook Australia. It was a small square softcover book that I put together after my first trip to Melbourne with friends. Since then I’ve been meaning to make another photobook but haven’t found the time, motivation or the right story to tell. Lightroom has had the book module that integrates with Blurb Books for a long time and it’s always been on the back of my mind to try it out.

I couple of months ago the lovely editors at Fuji X Passion magazine got in contact with me to see if I was interested in writing an article of my photographic journey for Fuji X Passion Magazine. I was humbled and excited to have the opportunity to do so. I really enjoyed the process of writing and subsequently digging into my archives to find photos that I wanted to feature in the article that illustrated my journey and style of photography. I felt it was a reflective exercise, thinking about my 10 year passion and journey in photography. From when I first picked up a camera and showed interest in photography. To when I am today.
If you haven’t heard of Fuji X Passion, do check them out, they have some fantastic articles written by passionate Fujifilm photographers from around the world. You can find my article titled my decade long journey in photography in the April edition of the magazine.
Thanks for stopping by today
