Derek Henderson's rich Turneresque landscapes and brooding portraits evoke the power of the Waikato River and the commitment it demands from the people who live beside it. These images were taken over several years and numerous visits to the Waikato River in New Zealand's North Island, an area from where Henderson's family originally comes. House-truckers, farmers, traditional owners, religious outsiders and refugees: these people live in a fragile world that has largely been bypassed by modernity.

Shadows in the sun
A hauntingly beautiful view of the park in the afternoon. click photo to enlarge The sun finally came out Monday afternoon, winds blew away the gloomy clouds. Rays shining through tall trees towering from a distance, casting long shadows on the emerald field. Walking along the familiar path, relaxing myself in the lush atmosphere, I detected a mist of sweetness in the air. The storm didn’t come, it’s a good day after all.

Woodenhead
If you've ever wondered what was really going through the Grimm Brother's minds when they wrote all those tales of woods and wolves and lost little girls, well here's your chance to find out. Welcome to Woodenhead, a film in which the subterranean perversions inherent in any good fairy tale have been brought rumbling and gushing to the surface. There aren't any big bad wolves, but there are cows, sheep, a donkey named Gerhard and and a kid goat that's been trained to lick the soles of people's feet. There's no Snow White or Cinderella, instead a mute princess called Plum, and an 'innocent' dump-hand named Gert, who believes he is 'the luckiest man under the sun.' Woodenhead is a genuinely committed look at the notion of the fairy tale, made modern not so much by a change of setting or period as by the confusion of good and evil and the perversion of right and wrong. The characters' profiles are anything but black and white, and the characters them selves are all (even the 'good' ones) more than a little creepy. What is black and white is the photography, the absence of colour beautifully transforming those majestic New Zealand landscapes into a brooding world of enchanted woods and treacherous hillscapes. You've seen Lord of the Rings, well here's the dark side, and a much more subversive attempt to exploit the inherently pornographic potential of New Zealand's natural settings. And you can bet your last bag of magic beans Woodenhead will be attracting a very different brand of tourist to New Zealand shores. Woodenhead's most striking feature is that the entire dialogue and 'location' sound is pre-recorded. The visuals were shot posthumously to the soundtrack, reversing the usual priority that is given to pictures. Enabling an extra-ordinary combination of actors, musicians and real personalities that would otherwise not be possible, and creating an oddball magical fairytale world.
Holiday: Nelson and New Zealand's West Coast
I'm just back from a week away in my camper truck, and although the trip had many aspects as I drove up sort of the center of the South Island and down the West Coast to South Westland, there were times when my New Zealand landscape photography interests got the better of me! The Mt Potts area in mid Canterbury - some years ago I had a very interesting and tough tramping trip in mid winter in this terrain which was covered in about half a meter of snow, so it was interesting to see it in thi
