I met these carvers of stone back in June, when this stone was still being carved.
I photographed everyone.
I met both the carvers and the Italian side of the family for whom it was commissioned in July.
Last week, I cursed my inability to speak French as we greeted each other again and talked via translators. They are the carvers and the Maori side of the family were so delighted to meet them.
This is the back side of the stone but I found it beautiful too.
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.
