On our lunch break we visited the very impressive letterpress exhibition at Standpoint gallery. I immediately fell in love with “Never Let the Odds” – it’s such a beautiful piece I had to buy one, and I’m looking forward to seeing it on our wall!
I also especially liked “Tutti Frutti” because of the vibrant [...]

Beauty at the V&A December 9, 2010
We recently visited the V&A again when my cousin Bex visited London. I’m really glad she wanted to meet us there because it’s amazing what you discover new each time you visit London’s huge museums!
I love the pattern designs, but I think my favourite is the Modern exhibition with the mix of furniture, type and [...]
*I love my new scrapbook!* April 1, 2010

At the nearby park there [...]

They opened the exhibition with speeches from parlimentry ministers and some songs, [...]
Visiting Otatara Pa and my thoughts… February 8, 2007
As we were leaving Napier we stopped in to visit the site of the Otatara Pa. A large town used to be on these hills in pre-European times, and this area used to be very close to the marshlands and inlets that were in the area before the Napier earthquake.
Now all you can see [...]

These were taken at the Botanical gardens lighting exhibition. I thought they made quite interesting shots.
