Who you are in unfavourable will build a fearlessness to take on the challenges forged towards your calling. (Yes, I may have recycled the post I made for @central.church #ecowarrior)
Happy 20th anniversary to Harry Potter and his adventures ⚡️ I picked up Philosopher's Stone back in 2001, when the first movie came out. From eagerly anticipating the release of each respective movie/book, to dressing up as a snitch for the midnight premiere of HP7 pt2, to drinking butterbeer at the Tokyo and LA Hogsmeade, to dressing up as Dumbledora the Explorer for camp, and now coming full circle: watching Philosopher's Stone on the big screen accompanied by a live symphony orchestra next week! Here's to many more magical adventures to come (@warnerbrosentertainment, do NOT mess up the next 4 movies by turning them into cash cows or so help me). 📣 what's your favourite movie/book? Mine was Prisoner of Azkaban growing up, but I can't remember why 🤔 maybe because Harry didn't haven't to face You-know-who lol
So I went to Wellington a couple of weeks ago and shot a lovely roll of film of this pretty lady @letsgowithflo . I knew the colours would come out GORGEOUS with the yellow rain jacket. But fate would have it that when I developed the film, I missed off one crucial step and my film got jammed in the developer 😢 Luckily I took a couple of shots on digital so all is not lost, but my heart aches for the lost film. Oh the joys of film photography eh. 📢 has anyone seen Wonder Woman? Would you 10/10 recommend watching it in cinema for the experience, or reckon watching it on a laptop be aiite?
Being totally honest, I originally was going to caption this "make your own magic ✨", but the call to make a #hillieriouspuns was ferry strong.
Gorge-ous views 🙂🙃 Starting a hashtag to keep track of all my #hillieriouspuns I originally had another pun lined up, but I got Karangahape mixed up with Karangahake so I can't use it anymore 😢 holla at me if you want to hear it anyways haha
Throwback to when a crop frame pleb such as I, was trying to figure out how to set the focus on @tim.marshall's 6D. 📣 are you team mirrorless, crop, or full frame?
Fresh start to the week 🌿
So I made a group of friends from university, and last night we hung out. It was bittersweet because from here on, we won't be seeing each other for a good few years. Some of us are embarking on our OEs, others are off chasing their dreams, while others are called to stay here to hold the fort down. Kakite ano and see you all in a few years Dabstreet Boys. Yep. That's the squad name. 📢 Let me know if you have a lame as squad name like ours 😂
🎶 Something something lyric chasing waterfalls etc 🎵 #manimfunny #hillierous PC: @tim.marshall
I went to Waiheke last weekend but unfortunately I was having too much fun to take any photos, apart from on the ferry ride there. 🥂🍾 I'm flying to WELLINGTON tonight for Armageddon. Come visit @deerdido's store in the cool kids art section. 📢 Can you give me some recommendations on what to do and see in windy Wellington pleeease?
When you enter the adult world of being chained at a desk, it's kinda hard to stay creative and find motivation to grab your camera and head out for a shoot. Das why it's super important to have creatively inclined friends who share the same passions as you. Like @tim.marshall. He da man. Latch onto them like a facehugger alien. 🙏 And if you don't have any photography friends, HOLLA AT ME I'M ALWAYS DOWN FOR A SHOOT 🤙
Good morning! I've been living in Auckland for the past 22 years (My parents moved here when I was 2) but I've never been to Waiheke. Shocking isn't it??! 😱 Any recommendations on what to do if it's raining?
