Anyone in the know about copy right?

2 for the church. One to show the problem and the other is just a different angle.

The road that goes off to the right from the church... used to have 4 Army houses on it. They were used as holiday accommodation and we used to get a week there in winter every year. Further around was a bit of lake that used to freeze solid and we used to skate on it.

The building that's going on round Tekapo is amazing. I have a wider angle and the other side of the main road is all half finished houses. It amazes me that you get a picturesque place and then its spoilt by every man and his dog building houses. They have to be bigger than the neighbour and closer to the lake/water/whatever. Queenstown is one place, Wanaka is following, Hawea isn't too far behind and it won't be too long before Te Anau and Manapouri are simply hotel/camp sites.

In Pokhara in Nepal they have a law that all houses must be two storeys or less and no larger than 'x', so everyone has a view of the Anapurnas. Why can't they do that here. Maybe the $ talks to loud.

Anyway </rant again>

ok i'll play
i see your cliche'd south island photo and bridge over south island river; and raise you a recently deceased all-round kiwi bloke, author, media personality and family friend with a much younger me on a honda... by a south island gold-bearing creek

Heh! What a surprise!

I had to baby-sit Barry when I worked at Reeds - Good Keen Man, and Hang on a Minute Mate had been published, and an advance on a third title hadn't produced a MS, so we set up a space, and I had to ensure he stayed put for a period each day. The not so long ago I met Robyn, who lived with Barry for some time, and caught up with more of Barry's movements.

Thanks for posting.

lol - I am talking of a time when there wasn't a big canal connecting the lakes, when the lake was lower - and the walk up Mt John was a lovely autumn/winter stroll. My older brother found a light meter in that church entrance once. We handed it in to the 'local' cop and, about 6 months later, we got it back. It hadn't been claimed.

that was about 40 years ago

I worked with a chap called John Irons many years ago - claimed to be Robyns brother.

True. I only watched it for van Outen though.

i went to infant school with her she was in my class... (must say she was ugly then -sticky or twiggy was what everyone called her)

mum and i went to the south island several times and stayed with barry and robyn at moke creek (location of first photo and this one below) robyn became his second-to-last wife following the times we stayed with them (us in a tent, them in barry's model-a ford truck). mum knew him for years before that and up until he died but we didnt see him often in later years - untilhis last wife came along,he used to have this habit of "shooting through" on his families, a hangover from his own horrific upbringing.

What a laugh.
What did you mean by ""shooting through" on his families, a hangover from his own horrific upbringing."?

By the way, what did he die of?

How much gold did you pan then?

Thanks again for sharing - back to another age!

To bring it back to photography, sort of - there was Ans Westra, too. She is my favourite NZ photographer. We babysat first child Eric, fathered by Barry, and Lisa, through Ans's association with John vh. Enough reminiscing!
