peter peryer skip to main skip to sidebar peter peryer saturday july 6 underwater underwater tomorrow i go to fiji it s not really a holiday i m not sure if i take holidays it s primarily a trip to see what new photos i can find i would be happy with just one it s always like that for me what makes this trip different is that i am taking an underwater camera and it will give me the chance to explore a whole new world i ve never used one before not that i should be too fixated on going underwater it is important to focus softly so to speak there may be a new photo on dry land staring me in the face but unrecognised because i am so determined to head for the beach in my planning i m being careful i ve booked accomodation for just the first two nights so that i can freely follow up any leads that might come my way i caught myself out a couple of days ago i was telling a fijian born indian here in new plymouth that i wanted to circumnavigate viti levu the main island while i was there he looked at me a little quizically and asked how long was i staying a week i answered he looked sceptical still i love my new underwater camera not that apart from testing it out in a rock pool nearby when i had to summon up all my courage in order to plunge it below the surface i have not used it since apart from photographing some clocks in whangarei i want to make the best possible use of it as a tool for helping me to find a new image one precious to me i ve been studying the history of this genre and was recently introduced the work of jean painlevé 1902 1989 that s him in the photo above the son of a mathematician and a politician whose mother died as a result of giving birth to him he became an important maker of science films more than 200 one 14 minutes long is called les amours de la pieuvre the love life of the octopus i recommend it he knew many artists living in paris at the time man ray andre breton and alexander calder for example in the 50 s he filmed calder performing his circus wish me luck at 11 43 am tuesday july 2 matisse polynesia 1946 matisse polynesia 1946 on sunday i am going to fiji for a week i urgently need to refresh my energy apart from circumnavigating viti levu the main island i have no plans other than taking up my new underwater camera and swimming around in shallowish water i don t want to go outside the reefs where the water is deep and dark the blackness below scares me in 1930 matisse spent time in tahiti he spent time underwater as well seaweed became one of his motifs i don t know whether to call this influence or not but i have taken photographs that remind me of his work here is a link to a six minute film about matisse and his final work http www youtube com watch v apaxlxavkmq at 4 16 pm wednesday june 26 three lions in my photographic career i have made 3 lion photographs one quality they have in common is that none of the lions are real that s not deliberate on my part i promise the top lion is a new arrival in new plymouth up against a mural and outside a hotel that opened 2 weeks ago a hotel called king queen the middle lion is glass and living on a window ledge it s back facing west towards the sunset probably ten years ago the earliest of these photos the bottom one is the lion head against a brick wall i had gone for a walk from my copenhagen hotel 15 years ago and come across some land with a storage collection of statues like this at 8 21 pm thursday june 20 kai iwi lakes i ve just returned from a photographic expedition to northland as usual no matter where i went i was always looking for a new photo actually i m like that even when i m at home it doesn t seem to make any difference where i am i could be in the kitchen or even the bathroom the branchy photo above was taken at kai iwi lakes about 40 minutes north of dargaville the shrubs probably manuka have been drowned by rising fresh water lakes are being formed by advancing sand hills very like bethels the virginia creeper below is from a wall in clyde central otago about 4 years ago i ve included it in this post because it immediately reminded of the swamp photo and i enjoy comparing at 9 21 pm monday may 27 white swan about three months ago i bought this object in eltham south taranaki i was immediately intrigued by it after a couple of months i turned it around suddenly realising that the reverse side was just as interesting a little while later i also realised that its shape reminded me of another photo one that i had posted on my last post way back on february 21st at 6 59 pm thursday february 21 revisiting the photo above i took last year called budda s hand one of the names for this extraordinary citrus however earlier this week a visitor remarked upon how reminiscent it was of thea s hand a photo from 1997 thea s hand was taken in christchurch thea s parent asked if i could take a photo of her hands i agreed finally deciding to use this marble background with her hand above mine surprisingly i hadn t noticed this similarity or even thought about it at 6 13 pm monday january 21 sabre socks the lower photo i took today i m sorting my socks trying to match them up and make pairs the upper photo i took of a napier sabre engine 2000 horse power plus this is in a museum in christchurch at 7 33 pm thursday december 20 slaughter 1981 i am involved in a major project where i am going through all of my old negatives to see if i have missed any images that could be printed up or in some cases to find negatives that i knew or rather hoped were there but have been lost for years i was very glad to come across the negative of slaughter 1981 taken at a time when i was in my early days as a photographer i think that i made one maybe two prints mainly for my personal enjoyment i don t know where the prints are now it was taken on the same occasion that i took farm study in fact all of the sheep in farm study were on their way to be killed the top photo shows one of them however it would be remiss of me not to include another photo in this post the colour one below and called carcass taken a couple of years ago needless to say this image has not been one of my big sellers by the way this sheep in not real at 4 19 pm older posts home subscribe to posts atom peter peryer co nz peter peryer co nz 2 dale st lower vogeltown new plymouth 4310 021 669879 online sales
