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

Within a 15 minute errand I had biked everywhere I needed to be, met 3 lovely staff, got 20 pierogis, gifted 20 to some rock-climbers, and was back in my flat grilling them up with carrots and butter.

She was another immigrant from N. Amer, was so welcoming to the new city, and once she heard what the Uprising staff said, she started packing a SECOND bag.

I now had a new #Christchurch errand: to give out the free pierogis. Kate had eaten such a good sandwich at Uprising, she wanted to give back.

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.

I also shot photographs for them, my first Guardian photography assignment but one I'm very excited to share.
