In the 1870’s John Cargill, a son of Dunedin founding father Captain William Cargill, excavated a tunnel down to a secluded beach so that the Cargill families could bathe in privacy away from the prying eyes on the main city beach nearby at St Clair. The beach has massive sandstone boulders, mysterious graffiti carved into the cliffs and a dangerous rip that sadly drowned Cargill's youngest daughter. Tunnel Beach has been called the most romantic spot in Dunedin. You walk from the cliff top down a long dark tunnel to the beach. This day it was full tide and no beach just rocks to stand on and waves coming in nicely through late afternoon light.
Received a Highly Commended at North Shore (Auckland) exhibition.

I feel I have entered my second part of my photography apprenticeship and now do not rush down most mornings to Bronte or Bondi now. I watch the weather and in particular the surf forecast as if it came down to sky or ocean - I would always choose ocean. Its hard sometimes waking up and seeing 'epic' skies etc however I push my FOMA aside and think for a moment that by the time I arrive the 'skies' have disappeared. Whereas with surf I can usually plan in advance and can take my time and watch the light change and move around the beach for different angles for shots etc...its altogether more civilised - so I suppose my puppy dog ways of running madly around a beach and clicking are ending and I am .....dare I say it........maturing ;).
I also know for sure that I am at the second stage as I am now re-cycling titles from shots a few years ago....Jeez ;)))
When are you you guys setting up on Instagram so that I can keep in more constant contact with you and your beautiful shots ??? - xx
