Mychillybin photographer of the month

This month’s mcb photographer profile is Kathleen Shepherd from Greymouth. She is a passionate photographer with a love for the unique and natural environment of the West Coast… Check out what she has to say over at the mcb community.

One of our favourite images from Kathleen is of the kiwi’s carved from tree gum. Once a vigorously traded good during NZ’s frontier days is now a treasure to have. So if you have some, don’t flick it at your next garage sale for two bucka…

mychillibin (mcb) is one of the freshest image libraries. It is making it easier  (and cheaper) to get hold of unique images wihin a couple of clicks. Fancy your chances of earning an extra income and hanging out with the countries picture takers, stop thinking and get amoungst it.

A Wellington anti-graffiti ad

We like to know whats going down in Welllington (We were born there and we miss its legendary bars, cafe’s and restaurants). The Wellingtonista is one place that keeps us up to date. Like this weird anti-graffiti ad.

I guess it answers the question why Resene doesn’t produce spray cans.
