I took these photos of the Southern Alps on my way to and from WordCamp NZ 2009 in Wellington.
Wellington City from the air
I took these photos while flying out Wellington after attending WordCamp NZ.
WordCamp Hangi
I attended WordCamp NZ 2009 in Wellington recently. The conference speakers (that includes me) were invited to a hangi afterwards.

That photo is actually a montage of three different photos. My old camera wasn’t up to the task of taking photos at night so I had to take two with the flash pointing in separate directions and another with no flash to show the coals. Hopefully it doesn’t look too photoshopped 🙂
Autumn in Central Otago
Here are some photos from Central Otago in autumn the trip home after Sarah and I visited Queenstown.

Jetboating on the Shotover
Sarah and I went jetboating on the Shotover river near Queenstown.
Such an idyllic setting ...
... but throw in a jetboat and things become less idyllic and more action packed!
I took my camera onboard
My camera quickly got wet (but it still works fine)
Sarah got even wetter than my camera
Luging in Queenstown
Sarah and I went luging in Queenstown. It was lots of fun 🙂 Unfortunately I didn’t get any photos of myself but here are some of Sarah’s steller driving skills.
The 'stop taking photos of me' look
The 'if I look serious I might go faster' look
The 'damnit, Ryan beat me by such a margin he has time to take photos of me' look :p
