Miraz Jordan Profile Photo

I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds, and strive to be an actively decent human being. In late August 2025 I moved from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Now 70, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all beings have the right to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that humans are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants.

These days we tap a button and a photo instantly appears. Back in the day a tintype photo took a lot of patience and messing about. Watch this fascinating 23 minute video to see a modern recreation. Recreating 19th Century Death & Mourning Photographs.

Still from the video: Step 7, wash, dry and varnish.
