I’ve had great reaction to the first DVD, made the deadline of August 11th, and have already had another week filming with Michael for the second DVD due Feb/March next year.
The weather was good enough to spend time on the beach recording the habitat in detail, including filming of a pod of Orcas racing past. It’s a comprehensive coverage of the shoreline so we can show the climate-changes over the next 9 ½ years, as well as the effects of any major developments in the area.
Got tangled in the deeply overgrown creek Michael intends to clear (with help from the neighbours); and studied in detail Michael painting 21 Spotties on one of his two unfinished commissioned paintings. If anyone likes Poisson Sa la muraille he plans to release a print version in due course.

Welcome Art and Documentary lovers - this first DVD with Michael has been made with a bit of hiss and a roar, as we didn’t have the idea until as recently as Queen’s Birthday this year - immediately started shooting with a second shoot a month later, pushing things through to make the deadline of Michael’s final dealer-gallery exhibition at Artis, in Auckland on August 11th. A bit of breathing space until the end of August when I’ll be back in Coromandel to video the sight and sound of Michael’s new grand piano, take a second look at St Francis and the Wolf; see Michael’s next reclamation project, and start a regular series looking at paintings in his private collection. That plus a beach check to see how the habitat is faring.
Each DVD will have the cover and title photograph shot by Michael’s partner G’ian McGregor. She’s got a good porridge recipe too, if anyone’s interested.
Feel free to send me an email if there’s anything you’d like to know.
Cheers
