You've heard of WikiLeaks? Well I run TuiLeaks. I like to expose the New Zealand Government for how corrupt they are. I've been homeless for 5 years now and I'm slowly getting my life back on track but i've not had any help. The Government are only interested in the rich. It's pretty obvious that the rich are getting richer, the middle class are getting by but the poor are always overlooked. It obvious that when you look at society we are all different but we are defined by our class and status but we are all humans and should be considered equal but that's not the case.

I shot this at 1.8 because lighting was poor and í upped my ISO to 800 but still didn't get the shot I wanted. His eyes are not ass sharp as i'd have liked at least his left eye but that's due to shooting at 1.8. The street is so unpredictable and no two photos can be taken the same which is why I love it. I'm always learning and love pushing myself. I do feel it's time to upgrade my body though to something that will work better in low light and perform better at higher ISO
