It's been quite a journey for this photo.
Back in January 2011, I was at the Basin Reserve watching NZ take on Pakistan in a test match. During one of his spells, I took several photos of Daniel Vettori as he bowled a delivery.
Later when I got home I stitched them together, and posted the result on Twitter. Iain O'Brien, ex-BlackCap fast bowler, saw my photo and asked if I'd like him to get Dan to sign my photo the next time he saw him. I was blow away. It took nearly a year however, during which the photo waited patiently for its glory to arrive.
Today, that photo returned in a frame - my first professionally framed photograph, signed by Daniel Vettori, arranged by Iain O'Brien.
