I could never take a good photograph - nor can I obviously spell it - Miles from Nowhere is the only person that I know that can (apart from Cecil Beaton and Ansel Adams and the SmugMug community, of course!) I do take the odd shot and though most are hidden in this gallery here are some archival attempts - I am primarily a poet and a painter - see the rest of hogproductions.com. 'Phi-tography' is how we pronounce 'photography' in NZ - we ellide our vowels.
Most of these are some experiments with Picasa 3, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox. The original paintings photographed were mine. The photos of the paintings were taken by mfnw (Miles from Nowhere) or me. The on-line computer whizzes who devised the above gallery, search engine, photo dubbers and world wide web transfers are responsible for the tweaked end product here. All in all a bit of fun!
The best option for viewing is to CLICK 'Style' - then choose Slideshow out of the five options.

Rick sees Rick on his bike on Google Earth, Jville
Originally i collaged a number of Google Earth images, including 3-D views, my paintings (and a Miro that was an accidental CLICK) and the centerpiece was my friend Rick from Jville. This was captured on Google Earth street camera. What are the odds of this? A biker captured on his Triumph in his front yard? A split second in the Google-Earth-mapping process.
I finally managed to get a portrait shot of Rick rather sneekily on my Apple iphone. He has incredible facial tattoos (Maori: 'moko') and you can just detect these above his glasses. The miracle of digital phi-tography allowed the Google-Earth image of Rick on his bike to be reflected in his glasses.
Hence the title 'Rick sees Rick on his bike on Google Earth, Jville'
