An historic week this last week with the flight of the Mosquito at Ardmore. After 8 years of dedication from a group of enthusiastic engineers the only flying Mosquito gave a spectacular display for a huge ground of people.
Congratulations also to the organisers who put on a wonderful event on Saturday.
Arrived in Christchurch for the 2012 INFOCUS conference and IRIS awards print judging.
Had a bad storm the first day but the last two have been glorious. Thanks South Island.
Today teams of people setup all the judging computers and stands and tomorrow it begins.
Very exciting. Of course I have a couple of prints in my self but I can help looking out for all the fantastic images I was trusted to print for other photographers. So lots of babies to watch for.
Good luck everyone, It all depends on the judges on the day now.
Thom Hogan writes his credo again as we come into the Photokina camera announcement part of the year.
A great source of information on Nikon Gear. Thom writes about most of it.
Printed the last NZIPP IRIS awards print for this year. Thanks to all the photographers who trusted me with their special images.
What a great selection again. Now I can’t wait to see them all judged in Christchurch in two weeks time.

Unlimited scope, unspecified budget. Those were the days.

We don’t get many like that these days.
If you are matting up images for the IRIS awards they should pretty much be done now. But I know a few people are still finishing up.
But this reminder applies to any of the PSNZ or Easter show exhibition events where images are displayed just in a matt.
When you or your framer sticks down the matt to the backing board you need to use a strong, permanent adhesive or tape. Some of the cheaper ones do not withstand the heating and cooling that the prints will be subject to during these exhibitions.
We have had this problem ourselves a few years ago where the front matt starts to lift. No harm is done but it is not very professional.
Papakura Picture framers does all our framing and matts and we have been perfecting the results. The IRIS prints produced this year look better than ever.
