American travel photographer Trey Ratcliff - now based in Queenstown - has had billions of hits on his Travel Photography Blog: StuckInCustoms. Trey's blind in one eye and only took up photography a few years ago. He made history by having the first HDR photo - that's High-Dynamic-Range imaging - ever to hang in the Smithsonian. The works are dramatic in scale and tend to be highly manipulated with hyper rich colours.

We first met novelist Karen McMillan's Polish characters in Warsaw, the Paris of the East, during the Second World War. In her sequel, the surviving family members who suffered appalling hardships under the Nazis, move to the Paris of the West - San Francisco. Unlike many migrants of the time, Celina, her father, shell-shocked husband and journalist brother in law get a big helping hand from family who moved to the States from Poland before the war. But even with financial support, the new migrants struggle to establish a new life in a very different country. Lynn Freeman talks to Karen about The Paris of the West.

Dunedin couple Meg and Cecilia Mickelsen have turned their love of art into a cottage industry. Their St Clair home is also a gallery called Fe29, selling works by local and overseas artists - and a few by Cecilia, too. But we're not talking about just one or two rooms here. The entire house is given over to art and the pair live happily amongst it all.

Two big reports on philanthropy in Auckland are about to be released. One asks what motivates philanthropists, and what they hope will come from their donations. The other gives potential donors advice on groups - like the arts - that are most in need of private funding. The Auckland Communities Foundation is behind the reports and in its first five years of working with philanthropists, it's distributed more than 5 million dollars in grants. The Foundation's Chair, Geoff Clews, is an Auckland tax barrister and longtime supporter of the Arts. He's set up the Rampart Endowment Fund to promote arts education. Lynn Freeman asked Geoff why New Zealanders seem much more reluctant philanthropists than those in countries like America.

It's one of the most performed New Zealand productions - 200 shows over 5 years here and overseas. Robert Lord's family epic Joyful and Triumphant spans 4 decades of the Bishop family's Christmas Days. Robert died just before rehearsals started. Now, almost 20 years since the last show, it's returning to the stage - with many of the original actors who are now playing 'older' roles. Lynn Freeman talks to three of them - Catherine Downes, Jane Waddell and Michele Amas.

She's nudging 90 years and is looking a bit rough in places but Auckland's Crystal Palace faces a bright future. It's been a working cinema all its life - it was the first 'talkie' cinema in Auckland - and in the 60s it was also a popular dance hall and recording studio. Now it's destined to become an arts hub for musicians, performers and filmmakers. Karl Sheridan and Taylor MacGregor from Monster Valley made a documentary about the Crystal Palace last year and were so smitten they're now managing it.

New Zealand's legendary aviatrix Jean Batten remains something of a mystery despite her many well-documented achievements in the air. She made the first-ever solo flight from England to New Zealand, setting a record that stood for 44 years. She was fiercely private, yet one of the most famous Kiwis of her time - brave but not reckless, and forging a new path for women while still being patronised. Lynn Freeman talks to Auckland scriptwriter Phil Ormsby and actress Alex Ellis who are portraying her on stage, calling it a celebration of an independent woman who pursued her ambition with unqualified success.
