Title: The Workshop of No.8 Wire Mentatlity.
"The workshop on our farm is five generations old. In New Zealand, Kiwi farmers pride themselves on being able to fix, modify or create anything with a piece of No.8 wire. It's called 'the No.8 wire mentality'. And this workshop space is full of it. It never needs cleared out, for there is always something that's useful in here.
This image is taken from my 'Workshop' series, photographing people in their creative spaces. I am fascinated by the direct reflection of the space in their owner's personality."

Title: Farm kids nap time
Location: Central Otago, New Zealand. "Our kids are so fortunate to grow up on a sheep and beef farm in Central Otago, New Zealand.
They connected to the land and growing food from an early age, hauled around the farm, taken to work to get stuck in to 'helping' their parents.
My youngest son would steal a nap when ever he could, captured here with his dad out mustering cattle in the old 1980’s Toyota Hilux."
