June 17th 2014: Gallery: Open

We love the web. It connects people, but there's something magical about touching, feeling, grasping or simply sharing space with something beautiful. Now, thanks to our friends at The Photo Gallery, you can actually get up close and personal with Box of Light prints featuring beautiful waves, seascapes, landscapes and people playing along our coastlines and mountains.

We've always taken great pride in the quality of the prints and images we produce, but that's hard to appreciate in a 600pixel wide image on your Tuesday report each week (especially with the boss breathing down your neck). So if you've been curious about one of our prints for your wall or to gift to a good friend, then drop in to 84 Filleul Street and see the friendly team there. Tim, Tessa and Amanda are all experts in printing and framing and can show you around the gallery.

If you have a picture in mind that you can't find on the walls or in the mounted prints on display then just ask – we can produce any of the images from Box of Light as required. Mounted prints start from just $49 and we can ship anywhere in the world.

This past week has been a tough one for weather, but the surf has been dialled up a notch on both coasts. We were busy with the All Blacks, nude rugby and rugby tests this past week, so missed most of the more epic sessions, but still managed to capture a few frames of the ocean in all its glory. How was the wind yesterday? This shot above is from a wave breaking at Smaills with an impressive plume.

More weather due this week – snow even if we're lucky – and a giant swell.

See you at the beach ... Derek
