Editor’s welcome

Dear readers,

Welcome to another exciting issue of our journal for photography enthusiasts! As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” This quote resonates deeply with us, especially in light of recent events.

Since our last issue, Cyclone Gabrielle and subsequent flooding have devastated parts of New Zealand, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of many. Our hearts go out to all the families affected, and we stand united in these difficult times. The power of community has never been more apparent, as we’ve witnessed people coming together to achieve things they couldn’t have done alone.

In this issue, we embark on an incredible journey with Lyn Alves, who takes us hunting eagles in Western Mongolia. We delve into the mesmerizing world of macro photography, showcasing inspiring examples from our talented members. We also chat with Kim Free about the importance of conservation efforts for our ocean and marine wildlife, reminding us of our responsibility as photographers and global citizens.

Celebrating our “My Neighbourhood” challenge, we feature the most captivating entries from our members and take you on a digital road trip throughout New Zealand, offering a glimpse into the unique corners of Aotearoa.
