I like photographing people.

Cameras and lenses are tools to be used.
Primes are good.

Interests: drinking, dancing with attractive women, social psychology, anthropology, clearing and planting the land.

Originally from the South Island, I lived in Wellington before coming to Melbourne.

It's good to have not much gear. I've tried lots of film cameras over the years. Currently:

Ikoflex 1a
Rolleicord Vb
Nikon FM3A
Nikon F3
Vredeborch Felica

    "Mike's b&w film work is inspirational - it has inspired me to go further and explore more of what can be achieved with manual analogue cameras. In his shots, he captures great mood and atmosphere and Mike's candid captures are truly special.

    Love your work Mike."
