The Land of the Americas


First real view of Kansas - Shot in the Airport after i flew in.

Hello from Kansas City! this is the first post in a while and also the first from the mighty US of A. I have been here for 3 days now and yesterday moved into what they call "the Living Centre" which is basically a hall as we would know it.
Its pretty cool, i share a dorm style room with one other guy and I'm on a floor that has mostly second year or higher students so that's pretty cool. I've met so many people who are all like "oh wow your from New Zealand!? thats amazing" which is kinda funny.

It was weird because living on campus and going to school in the same place (even if today and yesterday has been orientation kinda stuff with freshmen and other transfer kids) you kinda forget abut the world out there. It was a strange moment yesterday at like 6pm when, as i was standing on the grass in the insanely green and lush central quad of the school, i looked up and saw two very low flying fighter aircraft in perfect formation buzzing over the school. It was like "...oh yea America...guns and oil and war and stuff..."
Weird...

Wow lack of posting....

Ive been slack in a way and ignoring this for posting stuff! I have been working over the last week for the University of Otago doing a whole raft of photographs for their upcoming add campaign...my photos are going on billboards yo! I'm going to post the images up here tomorrow. Stay Tuned.

Also...Thanks for that artist Amanda! Her images look amazing in this series below...

Rosmary Laing:





These works seem to be a series but i cant find the name...or her website. Going to look hardout soon.

This is her "Weather Series" that Amanda Recomended to me:





These are pretty dam cool. I like the total lack of horizon and the freaky nature of the space that these people are in...falling but what way? The paper(?) adds another crazy level to it. I makes the viewer wonder even more about what is going on here! I like the dark one as well...although there is something that seems creepy and inherently dark about these images.
