It's About Jack

Image

500+ images photos and pics of New Zealand and other places I've been. The main galleries are geographically sorted, NZ is in four galleries covered from the North Island to the Deep South. The wonders of Central Otago, the Maniototo and the Mackenzie country feature in the Central South gallery. The rest of the south gallery covers east, west, and north of the South Island. Overseas living and travels are represented in the Australia, India, and England galleries. The Jacks gallery is a bunch of my own visuals. More images will be added as time allows, especially more from my B/W oeuvre, and animated/interactive 21st century images are on the drawing board. If you see something you want to use you can read my terms on the Hello page.

Jacks

During the winter of 2005 I embarked on a driving and tramping tour of the New Zealand's Glorious South Island. I have written a travelogue of these travels along some of our most famous tracks including the Heaphy and Routeburn. The highlight was a circumnavigation of New Zealand's third isle, Stewart Island, through it's recently created Rakiura National Park.

My exploration of the Jack Lexicon lead to the creation of the Jackulator, a machine that spouts forth the extensive use of the word Jack from famous Jacks to Jack phrases and Jack meanings.
