A retrospective into some night photography I was doing in Auckland, New Zealand back in 2006. This was the beginning of my love for film. I had attained a 12 mm lense acquired by londonxpress, which seduced me to try architectural and urban photography. I borrowed a variety of nikon analogue bodies to use it with via the university camera hub. It was interesting do go so wide for a while, particularily downtown Auckland, but there seems to always be more to get where the people are. That mindset pulled a little bit led me to K road, a very particular kiwi street and just try to photograph people.
(1st image)Street names are very classical British in the core of the city. The maori (native) names are much more interesting I think.
(2nd image) Used to live right to the right of this tower in the city core of Auckland. It displayed vivid colors interchangably through the year, adding diversity and character to the city. The view from there was quite the sight too. Every night I´d walk under someone jumping down from it.
(4th image) I Came to their attention too early to get a candid frame, but it was an interesting motif anyways, they were whispering something and later I had a chat with the guy with the hood. He knew the photography teacher of the third years, Deborah. She was a hero of mine, so that always made me curious of wheter they had collaborated on projects. Karangahape road, Auckland.
