Doha

Over the last month I’ve been in Doha, the capital city of Qatar. I’ve been working on a feature documentary with director Anthony Wonke and cinematographer Simon Niblett. On my day off I managed to snap a few photos of around town and a couple of us trying our luck with wake boarding: Wake boarding is radicalA puddle of water is a very rare site in hot sunny DohaThe lovely Kerry and me on top of the control tower at the Doha airportA couple looking out at the Doha skylineThe interesting Doha architectureBen flying through the sky on the wake boardStrolling towards the Mosque for call to prayerBen admiring the amazing sunetStef lapping in the beautiful sunshine and fresh air

The Pant

The magical garden known as ‘The Pant’ situated in the small village of Abergavenny in Wales is one my favorite spots to visit when I’m feeling homesick. It’s fresh green fields, lush flowers and amazing clean air makes me feel like I’m back in NZ. O yea and the sheep. They’re everywhere in Wales. I really love this place, so I decided to make a short video that I hope captivates the feelings I get when I visit it. A big thanks to Erline for all her help in making this little video.

Music by: Regina Spektor
