Bishop Brian Tamaki, the Vatican rang. You made the shortlist - Tui Billboard

Pin It Now!

Pope Benedict resigned last month and the Catholic Church has been tasked with electing a new Pope. Tui got in on the action and set up a billboard that reads: 

"Bishop Brian Tamaki, the Vatican rang. You made the shortlist." 

For those of you who don't know him, Brian Tamaki is the controversial leader of Destiny Church. I found the billboard hilarious but there are bound to be some people who will find it offensive.

Over the weekend, I came across this small group of people who felt the need to express their views about Palestine to the people of Auckland.

Homeless Man Sleeping On Queen Street, Auckland

Pin It Now!

I was walking down Queen Street one evening and even though there was still a lot of noisy pedestrian and vehicular traffic, this man was able to find himself a spot to get some sleep. I may complain now and then that life is tough but when I see sights like this, it reminds me about how blessed I am.

Proud Maori Flying The Maori Flag

Pin It Now!

I came across this individual at the 2011 Ragamuffin music festival. As you can see, he wanted people to know just how proud he was to be Maori. Maori get given a bad wrap but there is absolutely nothing wrong with them.

Footstep in the Sand

Pin It Now!
I was at the beach the other day with my wife and daughter. My wife left a footprint in the sand and I decided to take a photo of it.

This is to commemorate the life and times of my best friend Riccardo De Angelis who passed away on the 7th of March 2007.

It has been just over a year since you passed away and sometimes I still can’t believe you are gone.
