Kiwi Chinese New Year


Last weekend Auckland's Chinese community threw a big lantern festival in celebration of Chinese New Year. It was great fun. There was music, food, lanterns, performances, and LOTS of people. I had a great time and really enjoyed taking pictures at the event. You can see the lantern festival pictures and more comments here.

My favorite photo was the one of the ducks and "pepper" lanterns, but the photos of the moon and stars lanterns and the peacock were stunning. It must have een fun to be there at night with everything aglow and smelling delicious! (I made a wish, too!)

I really like your work behind the lens. Please don't travel without the good camera ever again.

Three things:
1. Kiwi Chinese paper lanterns = amazing.
2. The littlest one looks like she could be related to you.
3. Don't ever listen to Beej when it comes to female hairstyles. Your hair looks very you. Feminine and chic.

5. The verification word I have to type to post this comment is "nessno", and I find that hilarious.
