My bestselling print from the Viewfinder series, this shot of Glendhu Bay was featured in the Auckland Weekly News on March 1st, 1933. This particular shot took a - lot - of attempts to get everything lined up correctly. It's also one of the very first prints I produced for the series back in 2021!

I produced this Viewfinder print of the TSS Earnslaw for my exhibition in November, and I think it's one of the best I've done to date. It was awesome to be able to display this in the Steamer Wharf right beside where this shot was taken from over 100 years ago!
