We'd love to be there when you hand your bride her Queensberry album. Waiting for her reaction with baited breath. Now times that anxiety by 4-1/2 million and that was New Zealand in the last two minutes of the Rugby World Cup Final. The game was so tight that it came down to a kick from a fourth-choice reserve player from my little home town of Waiuku to clinch the cup. Stand up and take a bow, Stephen Donald. Talk about pressure. Now we can breath again. No we can't! We have an an earthquake, a shipwreck and an election to think about. Plus Christmas. At this time of year the pressure's on everywhere.

The images in this Press Album are by photographer James Yeats-Brown, and all were taken on an iPhone using the Hipstamatic app. "I realise there's a bit of a debate brewing over this approach" says James, "but to me a photo is a photo - it has to stand on merit regardless of the means of capture - and if it works in a Queensberry then so much the better!
