Pleased! Last month I was named the winner of the Aerial Category for NZ Geographic Photographer of the Year. Rather happy about it!

Snuck in to New Zealand Geographic in the aerial category for 2024. A stranded s***m whale on New Brighton beach in November last year. A crowd looks on, which gives you a sense of scale of this immense beast. Flick us a vote for People's Choice!

🥈 Runner-up 2021 Resene Landscape Award;

Congratulations Danny Rood!

On an expedition to the subantarctic, the Spirit of Enderby encountered eight-metre swells between Rakiura/Stewart Island and Auckland Island. Rather than remaining in his cabin, Danny Rood went to the deck to document what he calls “the impressive weather” and captured an albatross gliding above the spray.

Pretty darn happy to say I'm a finalist for NZ Geographic photographer of the year, in the landscape category! A mighty wave and a distant albatross make for a good photo, apparently

A five-month-old orca, now named Toa, receiving some TLC down at Plimmerton boat club today. This beautiful creature was found stranded on nearby rocks on Sunday evening, and is being cared for by a group of experts and volunteers. Do keep an eye out for an orca pod in the Wellington, Tasman or Whanganui regions, and hopefully we can reunite this boy with his ma!

Cool storm smashing into Wellington's south coast, but it's not the biblical event that some seem to think it is 🌊
