Photos du Jour: Port Chalmers & Environs

I think these are scanned from negatives back when we were using anOlympus-something & film.

I still prefer the look of film and would still be using it if we had unlimited resources, but it just proved too expensive for a doofus novice like myself and environmentally I don't think it's particularly awesome.  The Lovely R is an accomplished film fiend but possibly laments it's loss less than I do. 

These images are a wee bit funky as far as colour balance and contrast are concerned (a product of our crappy scanner) but whack processing often confers a charm all its own.  Above- Port Chalmers and the Peninsula hills.
Horrible, isn't it?  :)

^ Karitane or somewhere like that.  On the northern coast of Otago.

^ Goose, Back Beach, Port Chalmers.  This is one of my favourite shots, like eva.

Above Left: A lake somewhere near Lawrence in Central Otago.  Above Right: a plaster figure by Mary McFarlane that used to hang from Ralph Hotere's bank building in Port.  It is sadly no longer extant.
(Very obliging clouds in this shot.)
