New Zealand
I turned 50 in 2015. I remember feeling very happy to have done so, because I was certain that I would not have gone to New Zealand any earlier in my life. By 50, I had both the financial means and emotional resources to support taking the trip, which would have felt far to dangerous beforehand, mostly because I felt uncertain about driving on the opposite side of the road in the camper that I rented.
I loved the freedom of being able to sleep anywhere and I found that I enjoy long drives on my own, as well as planning the trip in the months before I left.
Although I focused mostly on landscape photography, I did take a few pictures of strangers as well.
This gallery collects my pictures of the place. To read about my experience and see the titles I’ve given each picture, visit the trip page.
