Christchurch Daily Photo

Hello there. I’m Michelle, and I’d like to welcome you to my photo blog where I get to show off my city – Christchurch New Zealand.

I created the blog with the intention of making me look more at my own city as well as giving me a great excuse to go out and take photos – a pastime I love.

I also hope that others will get some pleasure out of the photos and learn something about Christchurch, especially local residents who may be looking at their city, but not really seeing it (something I’ve been guilty of).

Christchurch is a beautiful place and it deserves to be show-cased in its best light.

In my day job I’m a self employed Christchurch Web Designer – so I can re-arrange things and take some snaps when I feel the light or time is right (and then work into midnight)! I also have the perfect excuse for blogging – it’s research for my web clients. If you’d like you’re own photo blog like mine why not send me a message?

Post Earthquake Update

It’s become very clear that this blog is now part archivist of a past Christchurch that won’t exist again due to the two large earthquakes we have now experienced. Many of the wonderful old buildings I have photographed are damaged beyond repair, but I have high hopes for our future but also some fears – fear that decisions made in haste won’t be in the best interests of the people of Christchurch and its future. Now is the time that together we have to come up with ideas for rebuilding and do it in a way that will make Christchurch a model 21st city. That’s what I wish.
