Making prints. This is Craigieburn Road in New Zealand, just past Arthur’s Pass.
Then you find out there is also a place with that unlikely name, Craigieburn, in Australia.
Factoid. The Interweb tells me that the name Craigieburn originates from Scotland. It combines two Scottish words: “craigie,” meaning rocky or craggy, and “burn,” meaning stream or creek. Scottish settlers most likely applied the names of the places in New Zealand and Australia.
No shortage of color in New Zealand.
All those digital archives where jpegs lie, leaking their bits. Making real prints is a beautiful thing, after all.
(Then again, re-photographing the print for this digital world does detract from the quality and experience).
Murchison, New Zealand, is a small South Island town between Nelson and Greymouth.
In the series New Zealand for Beginners, I made a new picture-collage video about our stay in Wellington.
Got up very early this morning with lots of energy. I finished reading Figuranten, which ends a bit in a minor way. At least that’s how I feel about it.
Made two videos from photos of our New Zealand trip. Then I was so tired I had to lie down again.
Music by Citizen DJ. Very good and not the usual YouTube ladida songs.
