also
loving
some
of
the
new
photographers
who
are
emerging

We used to have an old boat like this one that we all learned to ski behind. We would launch it from the landing at Te Uku near Raglan, just below our farm. After we sold the farm and took the boat to Auckland, Dad gave it to a builder who used it for fishing. I imagine it ended up sitting somewhere like this."
