Rusticity
- The Wellingtonista
- Following the success of the recent Wellington Flickr Group's exhibition at the Paramount, cames yet more photographic goodness from a Wellington flickr-ite legend A Different Perspective (aka Jim Henderson). He's putting on an exhibition of his work down at Island Bay's The Bach cafe, from the 1st to the 30th of April. To get a feel for what you might be seeing, check out his awesome flickr photostream here.
