Camp Tank Monthly

At short notice Mr Al Crossling and I were recruited by photo ace, Craig Madsen, to join him on a speedy mission to the central plateau to capture some images for an upcoming edition of Camp Tank Monthly. Its a great niche-market magazine which aims to bring artistic imagery and poetic verse to the masses, about out of commission military tanks.

We got some cracking images. You might even see one of me hollering the good news into Al's barrel, on the cover or centre spread of the next edition.


In addition to the main tank-based focus of the trip, we enjoyed some great tiki-touring around the area and experienced the toe numbing -4deg morning and 5am start which accompanies such trips. There was a stunning clear blue sky and immaculate views across to Mt Taranaki from the Turoa ski field. We saw some cunning frost which formed under the top surface of gravel and lifted if up a couple of inches. It looked like stones perched on acres of icy feathers.
Good company, entertaining banter, nice locations and some good beer made for a great little outing. Cheers Craig!
