Twenty-two photos here from the last little while around the North Island of New Zealand. Some may make the cut, most will end up in the B-sides folder. But an interesting group on images from the last 2-3 weeks.

Great B&W series- I especially like the foyer shot. Nice and simple!

Great B&W series- I especially like the foyer shot. Nice and simple!

I also really like the minimalist style on this shot and a couple others. Nice job on all these!

Wow, nice set. I really like the man inhaling paint fumes, the facial expression along with the emptiness of the street really give a strong message..
Well done..

Nice series! The last one is my favourite.

Intriguing B&W series that primarily captures a different side of New Zealand. To repeat a comment/observation made on a different thread: The first shot, and a to a greater degree the fourth shot (homeless man) are not quite in focus, yet that isn't a complaint or distraction. For candid slice-of-life pictures, lack of focus and sometimes imperfect framing can enhance the sense of reality and spontaneity.
