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.

inanga > 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' courtesy of inanga, Picasa 3, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox November 2009

inanga > Umbrella Tree, Tuscany Hi Gwyn Further to your last. The name of the song was Buffy Ste-Marie's 'Moonshot'. i think it makes an oblique reference to 'The Thousand Faces of the Hero' by Joseph Campbell. regards, inanga Thanx Picasa 3 for the image. [Ed Note (that's me): It is 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces', sorry, by Joseph Campbell. Buffy was referring to 'Myths of Heaven', not a Campbell text.]

inanga > Fern Grove detail from my painting 'Phi to 10,000 Places' perhaps the Sacred Ma-uri Stone is the center of the intelligent sphere that has its center everywhere and its circumference nowhere... SACRED MA-URI STONE "The Stone was regarded with great veneration. It represent Mankind : Man, by the surrounding outline (male organ and beak combined), and Woman and the Land by inner circle and ring. It was usually made of the finest Jade [pounamu, greenstone]. To the New Zealand Maori, 'Ma-Uri' were sacred words. 'M, and 'Uri' meant the improved Man [or Woman], and 'Uri' meant the offspring by sacred marriage of Selected Parents. That is, Ma-Uri' means the Children of God, the Sons of Heaven, the Holy Family; where-as Pakeha (the name given to Europeans) means the Insanitary people (Pa, clan people or nation; ke-ha, insanitary, diseased, stagnant, bad-breathed, scrofulous, syphilitic) - a reference to the spreading by Europeans of such diseases as syphilis, gonorrhoea, tuberculosis, etc., etc." Ettie Rout 'The Dolmen Hunter' The Whanganui people of Aotearoa (NZ) know there is another derivation of the conferring of 'pa-keha'. In the upper reaches of the Whanganui River are found albino eels. These pale white eels matched the skin colour of the newcomers (more about this in my soon to be published 'The Night Fishermen') and so they were called pakeha. Visitors to Taumaranui might like to look at the carvings in the centre of town. There is another really interesting story to be found on those. The Marokopa people of the Nation knew of a Mighty Chief who lived alone in a cave by a river. Every day he hand-fed seven albino eels at the stream's edge. One day only six eels turned up to be fed. He forecast that the missing albino eel would be replaced and then came the whitemen - the pa-ke-ha. courtesy mfnw, inanga, Picasa, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox 2009

Hi Gwyn

Further to your last. The name of the song was Buffy Ste-Marie's 'Moonshot'. i think it makes an oblique reference to 'The Thousand Faces of the Hero' by Joseph Campbell.

regards, inanga

Thanx Picasa 3 for the image.
