		<description><![CDATA[Kia ora tatou:
The workshop season is underway&#8230;..

Winterlight Workshop One is almost full, but there is room on the second workshop. If the thought of  working in the fabulous Central Otago landscape and making stunning photographs, eating great food and drinking fine Otago wines appeals, then be in.

		<description><![CDATA[I have begun following a new line of enquiry.
I have been thinking (already I can hear the intakes of breath, the hisses of concern, sense brows beginning to furrow, and hear the sounds of hooves disappearing over the horizon). But there is some thinking I need to share with you, a discussion I would like [...]]]></description>

I need help(I imagine there are one or two of you who would agree with that statement).

		<description><![CDATA[ 
Kia ora tatou:
I know I have banged on about tripods ad nauseam, but I feel it is time to visit this again, having been at a workshop where the $80 tripods which are a chiropractor&#8217;s best friend were present. A good tripod is indispensable for a photographer.End of story.

The first winds of winter
Then let my name be called 
Traveller 
-Basho
From time to time I think about those people who, having found the photographic path that works for them, and fascinated by it, compelled to follow it, do so happily for the rest of their careers.
Lucky them.
The remaining few of us, restless souls [...]]]></description>

		<title>Requiem-the power of photographs as memories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am here now.
The last month has been a wild roller coaster, what with moving into a new home and dealing with my mother&#8217;s passing. What truly helped were the  telephone calls, e-mails, texts and cards which many of you sent me. I cannot begin to thank you enough for your kindness and support. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photographing the land.  A quality of obsession.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The future was rushing towards me, drawing ever closer, arriving on the horned wings of an approaching storm. I looked up in horror, in ghastly realisation, and knew that there was nothing, nothing at all I could do to escape, to turn it away&#8230;.
I am more convinced than ever that whatever we photograph, we need [...]]]></description>
