June: photos post

No travels but fewer pictures processed than May, maybe due to reading more books.
Review: Into the Light: A History of New Zealand Photography, by David Eggleton
23 Jun 2026
Lots of words in this book on the history of photography in New Zealand.
May: just a normal month.
7 Jun 2026
Pretty much no teaching. Working on papers, and a weekend trip to Christchurch.
May: photos post
5 Jun 2026
A more reasonable May, though still a fraction of photos processed numbers compared to late last year. Backlog under two years. Last Cascade Saddle set; Travers Sabine 2024; and one more TMB day.
April: no more classes, but still a bunch of teaching admin
12 May 2026
Not quite done with teaching in April; that would be May. Two papers in progress and a trip to Montreal.
March and April: photos post
1 May 2026
Neither took nor processed many photos in the last two months, but that still means that the backlog extends further back in time.
March: teaching and no trips to Aotearoa NZ but instead Edmonton, Vancouver, and Peterborough
28 Apr 2026
Last month of classes and two trips to referee in the West.
February: teaching and a trip to Aotearoa NZ
19 Apr 2026
Yet more course prep, a trip to Pohara and Angelus, and Quebec for Christmas.
