Are you a skin or a punk?


I asked this guy if I could take his pic and he was just great. I don't know if you can see the gold glitter around his mouth from inhaling paint. He's drinking wine as well. One of the first things he asked me on hearing my English accent was "Are you a punk or a skin?". Then he asked me how many years behind England NZ was. He reckoned on 7. Ha. His buddies, out of shot are to his right.

Leap frogger


Leap frog on the water-front.

I love this city.


This is a Maurice Gee passage. He got the bit about the wind correct.

Deluxe Cafe - Kent Terrace


Ouch! $4 for a flat-white. Not a bad cafe. A little bit pretentious. The barista's belong to the : "We are too cool for this and you. We should be making movies, writing music and you don't understand what a genius I really am" school of thought. Sample music, early Bob Dylan. Sample crowd, Media, muso's, delicate geniuses and other assorted yuppies from Mount Vic - who really aren't yuppies at all they just like money.

Cuba : everything you ever wanted, and more!


Not the real Cuba, but Cuba Street, Wellington. You will find 3 cafes along here selling havana coffee beans. It's good, too! The best!
