a unique pacific island community faces the first devastating effects of climate change, including a terrifying flood. will they decide to stay with their island home or move to a new and unfamiliar land, leaving their culture and language behind forever? low-lying takuu atoll is only about 1m above sea level and has already started to experience unprecedented flooding from king tides.

this powerful and heartwrenching new zealand-made documentary has won several awards already; if you get the chance, you should see it.

well yesterday was worldwide pinhole camera day… and i missed it! (again!) although elsewhere in the world people are still taking part, it was over where i live almost 24 hours ago. oh well – maybe next year i’ll get it together in time. (in my defense i did spend a large portion of yesterday taking photos.)

here’s an experimental pinhole photo i took a couple of years ago, using my homemade pinhole ‘lens’ (a pierced DSLR body cap). if you want to know how to make your own, leave a comment 🙂
