We've made a book!! Super excited, nervous and just really proud of the journey that we've been on with Te Ara o Hine Rēhia. I want to mihi to all the beautiful whānau who have let me photograph them on their Kapa Haka journey. Jeremy and I have added words to the images and our publisher Robbie Burton has been so good to work with. We launch it at a Pukapuka Talk for Nelson Arts Festival at 5:30pm āpōpō.

I've been sitting on this post for a bit. A month ago we gathered in Pōneke for the final reading of the Te Here ā Nuku (Nelson Tenths) Bill at Parliament. It was so momentous and I felt incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to capture history as it was being made. It's always the quiet and intimate whānau moments that get me.
