Tulou

Tulou Fujian China

In December 2009 we planned to visit China for sight seeing and photography. We were limited in our choices as it was winter and the “frozen” theme did not appeal to us. So our choices narrowed down to either Hainan Island which is a tropical holiday beach resort, or Xiamen. We chose Xiamen (Wellingtons sister city) and found it to be a great choice. Lots of character, good food and friendly people. Definitely not as fast as Shanghai! One reason for going to Xiamen is the close proximity of the earthen houses (called tulou) built by the Hakka people since the 12th century.

Armageddon Westpac Stadium, Wellington.

“Cosplay” is short for costumeplay. Some people get their “kicks” by holding big cameras and pretending to be professional photographers.

While others dress up as their favourite anime, manga, comic book, video game or movie character. Armageddon is a great place to go to photograph an alternative culture. This is where fantasy meets reality. I think Wonder Woman was there………

I photographed babes in fur, babes in uniform, babes in short skirts, but Captain America saved the day.
