Happy Anniversary Auckland

The weather really turned it on for the long weekend. I spent much of it sorting out parts of my website and blog but I certainly got out in the sun and enjoyed a quiet beer and a swim in the sea.

I used no photoshop except for photo-merge. Its made up of 12 vertical photos. I used a polarizing filter for one of the first times ever and it produced the most amazing results.
Bring on Waitangi Weekend

Fortress of Tears

This fortress of tearsI’ve built from my fears for youThis fortress won’t fallI’ve built it strong for you

Homesick

I was emailed the other day by a homesick ex-pat Kiwi who stumbled upon my site and wanted to feature some of my photos from Shapeshifter's concert in Mt Maunganui on his own blog. He is a Designer working in London and a huge NZ music fan, so it was a really nice feeling getting some wider more global exposure of my work.

I suddenly remembered why I love doing what I do and producing photos which have an emotive quality..............I do it for people like Hamish who are moved by such imagery and become transformed to a different place in their mind.

New Day Come

Welcome to a new dawn. GAP | Grant Armishaw Photography is born into a new world.


And that world is Auckland City, New Zealand. I have just moved up to Auckland and into an amazing flat right on the Devonport waterfront and this is the view from my bedroom balcony. I can already tell that Auckland is going to open a whole new bundle of opportunities and challenges for me. I am really looking forward to the next episode in my work and in my life. Bring it on Auckland, show me what you've got.
