Grüssti from Bayley’s Beach- some photos from last April

vonnagy — Sat, 10 May 2008 04:43:11 +0000

Here are some shots I’ve taken last month- these were up in Northland close to Bayley’s beach, a place I have’nt been to in ages. First photo is a shout out to all mates in Austria

After 6 months, I finally downloaded the pics from my camera. I have a heap of stuff there, but most of it will probably be backup’d and archived as I don’t have to much time to work on my photography. I did have this photo which I found, i took this sometime in October 2007 I think. This is somewhere in Auckland - probably Mission Bay. I there were few raindrops on the lens so the original size file is a bit messier but here’s the latest offering for a while.

Happy Kiwi Summertime! Some summer snaps…

A few days after christmas my girlfriend and I went for a sunrise walk to Mission Bay. I just picked up my little sony cyber shot, though its not ’serious’ camera, I had some fun with it - besides I am not a very serious photographer! I haven’t taken any pics for quite sometime so I hope these will do for the time being!
This is for all those folks reading my blog who are suffering through the cold weather - here is a bit of nz summer for you!

Jandalised!

Nothing tells you its summertime in NZ like a pair of jandals on the beach (thongs to you aussies and flip-flops to the rest of the world). The distortion on the cybershot camera actually makes it look like there is a ghost walking in those jandals…

Seashell’d

Another experimental shot with the sony, there is a bit of depth of field in this snap, I was a bit surprised that sony did it as well as as it did.

Steinlager’d

Ah, Steinlager. You’ll be bound to come across a few bottles in NZ, more than likely they will be empty bottles though!

I’ve just added a Gallery2 Module to vonnagy.com; I have started to upload 1280 Width Images suitable for many desktop wallpaper needs - hope you enjoy. The quality isn’t quite the best (I’ve reduced the jpg quality slightly for faster loading) but it should still be ok for your computer.

Its a work in progress.. I’ve got quite a few more photos and albums I would like to add, but here are the categories I have now:

Auckland:

Update and of sorts and big THANK YOU to stumbleupon

vonnagy — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:01:14 +0000

Hi everyone - no unfortunately I don’t have any photos in this post. I still have about 2 gigabyte of photos on my flash card from my holiday in europe - which turned out to be one of the biggest adventures during my short existence on this planet.
Regarding my photography: honestly I really don’t have the motivation to go out there and take photos at this point in my life. For nearly 4 years I battled my camera, the weather and mostly myself to bring my photography here on this website. It was a form of therapy for myself. I am not saying I am giving it up - but there is so much going on right now - that photography is taking a backseat.

However - I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for Stumpbleupon - I was checking the weblogs to my site, and my god, thank you all you you people who used stumbleupon to view my website - click here to read some comments. Thank you so much for your kind words, stuff like that really puts a smile on my face. All you guys are great!
I am also forever grateful for my friend Ania who helped me with my very first photography exhibition, which ironically, was not in New Zealand but in Poland. In fact for those who want to see it, I believe they are still there at Piekna Bar, Piekna 68a street, Warsaw.

Apologies to those who left comments in my blogs the last 6 months, I’ve only recently fixed a bug that deleted any posts. Its working now…

So the question remains - what are your plans for the site if you are aren’t going to take any photos?

Add europe photos - i actually took very very few photos - most of my pics are from Northern Ireland which remind a great deal of New Zealand. I will try to add them here in the next few months.
Add Wallpaper size photos - for those that want a bit of New Zealand on their desktop.
Add some sort of creative commons license for some of my photos.

Also I’ve been getting alot comments about this particular photograph both on and offline:

I was actually lucky enough to be invited to stay at this farm - It is owned by a family by the name of Snodgrass. They were very very gracious hosts and the weather was perfect for some of the best shots I have ever taken. However, a couple of months after I was there I had a hard drive failure and I lost all their contact information. However, I am going to try get their contact information here as they take groups out there from time to time, so anyone who is interested can see what it is like in this phenomenal place.

All the best

Mark

I just finished a wonderful holiday in Atrani, Italy. Below are a few pics from this place. I used a diffent computer to upload these photos, so I am not sure how they will turn out, but hopefully they are ok (for now)
Italy was great - lots of stories to tell but I will do so a bit later!

quick news…

vonnagy — Fri, 18 May 2007 02:53:08 +0000

In less than a month I head for a much deserved holiday/business trip to Europe, visiting family and old friends as well as a few new friends. Don’t expect to see any new posts for a while (at least until September)!

In other news - As of May 8th I am now a New Zealand citizen. My official ceremony will take place when I come back from Europe. A special heartfelt thanks to the people who people who befriended along the way, especially during the difficult times when I first arrived to this beautiful country. This is only just the beginning!
All my love - mvn
