Angie getting her tattoo

Yet another sign

Possibly my favorite

The new tourism/Air NZ campaign is wonderful

Angie couldn't resist shooting this "no admittance except on lingerie business" display

I messed up this shot, but I like what I got almost better--the fan who missed her shot (like me), and the going-crazy younger ones

I yelled "PHIL!" and she waved our way

Sir Ian puts on his hat and proceeds to sign

Now Ian's signing for the other side of the street

I think they took as many photos of us as we took of them

Big gap here, as I was overcome by a combination of heat and frustration and went back to the hotel to watch the speeches on TV for an hour

On the big screen, Orli shows his tee-shirt for about the gazillionth time

With the stars safely in the theatres, a traffic warden can pose with some orcs

I took in a bit of the outdoor show

Yes! I have a good spot for them leaving the cinema!

Testing the lens as people start to leave...

And all is fine until the first celeb leaves, and girls perched on their boyfriends shoulders move in

Woo hoo! I found the after party, all by myself!

Seth talks to fans while his companion freezes

It's after 3AM and my battery is cold, so David holds this pose for me to shoot--and the darned flash never DOES go off
