Welcoming onto the Marae

What a special Easter I've been having! For my diploma I have to photograph an Event. A fellow photographer invited to me go and help him to photograph an annual bone carving convention. Here the carvers are welcomed onto the local Marae. I have never done this before, and although I barely understood what was being said it was interesting to watch the exchange of words. The marae itself has a wonderful outlook . YOu can just see Mount Taranaki in the background

What a privilege to be asked to photograph this event, and an incredible place for a Marae.

Lovely capture.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, brilliant. Great opportunity.

What a fabulous marae and view. Nice to see our maunga in the distance.

Working backwards through your photos, I was thinking you were there because you were an expert bone carver yourself! I find the real reason you were there even more interesting. What a great challenge.
