This is one of a series of profiles for Forest and Wood Products of architects, building designers, interior designers and engineers who use wood in their work.

Some of our recent work.

Last month I was interviewed  by Kiwi Dave Homewood about my experiences of interviewing veterans. Dave does a similar thing in New Zealand. Here’s a link to Dave’s podcast.

This was a fun one to shoot.

Their signage really does stand up to it.

The vintage Allis-Chalmers scraper seen at the end happened to be next door – and had an owner who was happy to try to break it.

This is an update of a commercial we created for the Temora Aviation Museum’s Warbirds Downunder airshow. A couple of the images were supplied but the rest was shot by Keith. The air to air footage was shot out of the back of a Caribou a couple of days before the 2013 airshow. This was without doubt one of the more challenging shoots I have done. I was shooting with the F3 camera using a hired $45k lens and with a large heavy gyroscope underneath. It was mounted on a sort of a pogo stick monopod. Because we couldn’t have anything loose (including in pockets) I had to do without my glasses which made things a little challenging, added to which my earplugs fell out, thankfully not being ingested into the Sabre’s Avon engine. The poor old Caribou was going flat out when the Sabre was behind us, increasing noise levels and vibration to challenging levels. We were airborne for well over an hour, landing at dusk, having had the advantage of perfect late afternoon light. There were five of us on board plus the crew including our loadmaster who had to busy himself repairing the roof panelling which was flapping loosely at one point. Naturally we were well harnessed in. All considered it was a great experience even if I did think at one stage this was bloody hard work!
