2011 rugby world cup fireworks… 9 sep ’11

Friday, September 9th, 2011

ok so… anyone who knows me knows i’m pretty much a beginner where sport is concerned. of course, i like it when our teams win; but i’m not usually interested in watching how it happened. but i made an exception yesterday for the RWC opening ceremony. from about 4pm i was watching it on the tv, and at 6pm we went to sit in traffic for an hour to get to Mt Victoria in Devonport, which is probably the best vantage point in the city for waterfront fireworks displays.

this was the same place that i shot the 2011 New Years display from. last night the smoke didn’t really disperse during the show which certainly made some interesting effects but it did block part of the end of the display from view. here’s a couple of pics… (full gallery on our facebook)

auckland down syndrome buddywalk… 20 mar ’11

Sunday, March 20th, 2011

we had a fantastic time last month shooting for the Auckland Down Syndrome Association annual “Buddy Walk” at Mt Eden Domain. first thing in the morning dew, the stalls were setting up, bouncy-castles inflating, and yummy treats cooking… then as the day progressed with perfect weather the grounds filled up with crowds of excited children, tugging their families from stall to stall. there was a great range of live entertainment, auctions & raffles, and of course, THE WALK. for about an hour the entire mountain was completely encircled by laughing chattering families in the warm sunshine. after the walk: more live entertainment & performances, more mums & dads chatting on picnic rugs, and more happy kids & teens enjoying the fair. what a great day!

and here’s a few pics…

delish cupcakes’ bake sale fundraiser… 5 mar ’11

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

in response to the massive & urgent need for money following the tragic Christchurch earthquake last month, Delish Cupcakes organised and hosted a HUGE community bake sale in the street outside their North Shore shop. on the day they had an amazing response from all over, as a constant stream of people & businesses arrived bearing cakes & baked goods – and left with less money and different baked goods!

Delish also baked & decorated 1,000 (yes… a THOUSAND) of their “mini” cupcakes which sold for $1 each. there was even donated a replica of the Christchurch cathedral in frosted gingerbread! the total raised was $6,664.40… and here’s some of the pics 🙂
