About My Blog

Here you can find work in progress, Holga photos, travel photos, snaps from around town and, occasionally, ones from the file boxes that have never found a spot to call home. The nice thing about a blog is that I can show you new work in a less formal fashion than on my web page. I post on a regular basis, so check back. You can follow me on Instagram @ jonnycakes7

I only spent a few hours in Papeete so this is a superficial snapshot.
These were all made in the area around the public market.
Street scene.
Texture.
They still have phone booths!

Ninamu was a perfect place to relax. There weren’t too many demands on our time!

Ninamu Sunsets

Every evening we had a different looking sky. This is the “donut sunset”.
Sunset with sailboat.
Subtle, subject to change and long lasting.

Chance Encounter

The two Stephs. We met Tahitian photographer Stéphane Sayer outside the public market in Papeete. He saw our cameras, introduced himself and we talked photo for a bit.
It was great to meet him and a fun encounter. You can check out his photographs @tahitizoom

In the Water

April 1st, 2024  |   Comments Off on In the Water

I experimented with a Nikonos underwater camera. It wasn’t entirely successful. 
I did get a few dreamy looking photos that have a look and feel I like. 
Photographing in the water was a new challenge. It’s a constantly changing scene!
With these photos I was trying to do what photographers call a “split”. Half out of the water and half under water.
This one incorporates a bit of camera motion. Works for me.
