Waking up in Fox Village, I knew I had no reservations but two activities in mind. #1, to see the Franz Josef Glacier in all its glory, and #2 to see the Fox Glacier in all its glory! I had planned to take a strenuous hike up the side of the Franz Josef glacial valley to an overlook but he trail was closed from a recent rock fall leaving me stuck without set plans. Fortunately Franz Josef villa... Read Full Entry

I grew up in a small town. I went to Uni. I started taking pictures afterwards in 2000. Several cross country road trips and 3 summers in the Sierra Nevada forced me to fall in love with the outdoors. In 2004 I began working full time, taking advantage of every free weekend and holiday while liquidating my yearly vacation for bigger trips to other countries. I especially love conifer forests and alpine mountains. I'm currently taking pictures of Kids and Models, check out my Facebook page for details! [url=ht... full info

Amazing!
Your pictures are absolutely beautiful. I especiall like "Fox Glacier Hike" and the sheep one (-: That's one thing I remember about are time in NZ when we were kids- the amazing colors in the sulfer ponds etc.... I soooooooo wish I were better with a camera. I'm getting ready to move to France in Sept. and would love to capture and share moments with friends and family here. Oh well, there's always hope I guess. Take care, Elizabeth

Would like to talk to you....
You pictures are great. You remind me of me, in that it sounds like you make frequent stops when you see a photographic moment - my wife used to get frustrated with me as I make frequent U-turns because "I saw something" but now she loves taking photos and doesn't mind. Anyway we are going to NZ Oct.27th-31st then on to Australia from Oct. 31-Nov. 12th. We live in Sacramento CA and it sounds like you are from the area as well (Yosemite, etc.) We have a short time frame on the southern island and I figured you could give us some great advice. We don't like doing paid tours for days on end, would rather have the experience doing a trip ourselves, but we are very open to day tours like the helicopter one, etc. What would you recommend. We want to rent a car and drive the southern island. My phone is 916-788-8828. Take care and God bless. Matthew and Holly
