Recent History


LARGE IMAGE OPENS IN A NEW WINDOW

History, of course, is only as far away as yesterday. And bearing that in mind we monitor the 'nets photography and auction sites for images that we think should become part of our historic record. It usually means evaluating about 1,400 photographs each week, of which barely more than 1% make it to the archive.

Most of those images record changes in streetscapes, but occasionally we find subjects that either represent photographic excellence or reflect our cultural values. Such an example of the latter is the above photograph taken by John Morton at a Spring wedding in the Christchurch suburb of Cashmere.
