Gallery

We’re not all capable of reading huge amounts. I myself confess to only looking at the pictures in some magazines. Yes, those magazines. The Gallery is the visual accompaniment to the words, a journey in photographs that aims to capture the essence of inspiring places, people, and true moments of Modern Gonzo.

  • Shamans and Guinea Pigs in Ecuador

    It’s folly to spend just one week in a country as diverse as Ecuador, but what the hell! Shamans and guinea pigs, iguanas, bus parties, 300-year old haciendas, volcanic craters - I don’t get to the Galapagos, but between Otavalo, Quito and Gauyaquil, there’s plenty to keep me busy.

  • Sweet As the South Island

    Sweet As. It’s Kiwi slang, and I return to the South Island to find out what it means. Is it the wine, food, and dolphins in Marlborough? Or the extreme gonzo action of canyon swinging, bungy jumping and skydiving in Queenstown? From mansions to car eating parrots, join me on a road trip on the South Island, where we always aim for possums.
