This is Tuhoe 'Bruno' Isaac, an ex Mongrel Mob leader. He was at the lakeside market in Queenstown on Good Friday promoting his book 'True Red'. When I asked him if I could take a photo, he said only if I bought his book. I declined, but then changed my mind, went back bought his book and took some photos.
@taffy@claudiet Thanks I agree. I got some nice black and whites too although his moko show up quite as much in those. @islambad The book is called 'True Red' @777margo@merrelyn Thank you very much @deborah63 Yes I have just finished reading the book, and it was very interesting - he has done a lot of things. @eudora@moonmtn Thanks so much. @fbailey I don't think I was brave, but I really did want the photo!! Normally I just try to sneak one when they aren't looking!! @maggiemae I think he was asking $45 - I asked my husband later, but he said he gave him $50. I have read the book now too and enjoyed it so that was a bonus. He was one of the leaders of the Mongrel Mob and lead a pretty depraved lifestyle when he was younger! @dawnee A very tough guy - I have more appreciation of that now I have read the book. @m2016 Thankyou Mel @ltodd Certainly lots of character there - and not just from the moko! @mjalkotzy Thanks - I think it was a good decision too. @paul10 Thank you Paul :-)
