Lotsa changes already this year...
The main two ...
1) We traded in our Celica for a silver Toyota Camry Sportivo ( 2004)
2) As our rental place had been put on the market we decided to look for another place and found the ideal spot this week!
So - "new" car and "new" house all in one week!

We shift on Feb. 7 ...
So pretty busy times ahead - expect heaps of cool photos next month...

Not QUITE there yet - 55555 pageviews - but close enough,
it's a nice number and it's my birthday week, so I can do what I want.
43 ... wow - How the years have flown by since good old 1967.

It has been an eventful year so far -
the main reason why I haven't been so active for a while.
A lot of my old watchers seem to have either left dA or given up commenting.

My most viewed deviation is Texture - Water Drop with 24,213 views
Submitted FIVE years ago -


I have taken some more waterdrop photos last week -
I will add a few more at some stage this week.

It has been a year since we started doing the NZ Hunting Magazine together,
You can follow the magazine on Facebook - www.facebook.com/pages/New-Zea… - we have just reached the 100 like mark.

By the way - no - we didn't feel the earthquake here in New Zealand,
a lot of friends and family overseas emailed us, wondering if we were ok -
Yep - it was on the SOUTH Island ( we are on the NORTH Island ) and luckily nobody was killed.
We also survived the major storm the size of Australia btw.

I have stopped drinking coffee last week
and we got a treadmill ( doing 20 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night).

Otherwise - yeah - busy week this week -
Lotsa work on ( great ) and this weekend is the Sika Show in Taupo.

And tomorrow is the
21st of September - -
I share my birthday with my fav writer Stephen King
and also birthday and birthyear with singer Faith Hill -

Presents can be send to eRiQ - PO BOX 13579 - Tauranga - New Zealand

Ok ...
For the last few months things have been a bit silent -
We have been quite busy work wise - great new clients and projects - and the third magazine we design has just gone to print.
But ...  family wise, Debra's father hasn't been that well.
Since he was submitted into the hospital a couple of months ago now, he has gotten a lot worse.
The doctors believe he had some minor strokes and is now suffering from dementia and alzheimers.
He doesn't talk and I am not sure if he even knows who we are anymore.
Things haven't been that well in communicating with Debra's sister and her mother either,
who frankly, both, seem to be in denial.

So - yes - it has been quite emotional for a while  - and there's bound to be some more issues to resolve in the period to follow. Thus the reason for not having been here that much...

Today ... I decided to update my journal and to spend some time uploading a few new things ...
as an escape from all that is going on ... because we do need a bit of time for ourselves in these times.

I will do my best to update more regularly and am aiming for more images to go online more often as well.
In the mean time, it seems that a lot of the old school deviants from the early days I joined up aren't that active anymore either... which is a real shame as this was always a great community..

Stay in touch!
