Photograph of the Port Hills/Adventure Park fire near #Ōtautahi /#Christchurch, as I saw it at 3:45 PM. Intense, large, and ever-changing. I would photograph it into the night. I hope everyone is safe + the firefighters are having an easy time.

Starting to develop photos from the fire, here are 2 HDR images taken in the last hour. Thank you all for your suggestions! Stay safe out there CHCH.

I spent the last few hours photographing the Port Hills/Adventure Park fire near #Ōtautahi /#Christchurch, I got some great photos but I'm too new to know what editors take photo submissions.

Any tips for news orgs or emails so I can publish these photos? #porthills #firealert #photojournalism

Short thread about a great moment to capture what it's like to live in #Ōtautahi , from my first 2 weeks of living here!

I've been follow Foodprint, a Too-Good-to-Go-like food surplus savings app, since before I arrived. I finally decided to use it tonight for dinner, going to the Pierogi Joint

Landed in Ōtautahi yesterday and today I'm in their brilliant library getting my library card and doing some local reading! Great book from @byroncclark.bsky.social . This is one of the best libraries I've ever been in, and I'm not just saying that as the biased child of a librarian.

Hi NZ Bluesky community! Outside of FB groups, I'm curious your best recommendations for finding and connecting with flatmates virtually.

I'm moving to Ōtautahi/Christchurch and my housing plans fell through, I'd love to learn what works best for newcomers + what you'd avoid. Thanks so much!

For The Guardian , I visited CosMc’s on Day 1 to see what a drive-thru-only business is like. The cars, the drinks, the whole setup was bad. This divestment in customers (and humans in general) isn’t a step towards a space-age future, it’s a step backwards. More:

I'm on Bluesky officially, hello! Pearse Anderson here, freelance journalist, game designer, environmentalist.

An update: I'm moving to Ōtautahi/CHCH (NZ) in 2 MONTHS and I don't know anyone there/have never visited that part o' the world.

bsky doesn't have DMs, so how can I reach out to locals?
