Capture: Ngāi Tahu, in reply to Grant McDougall,
The second was at the tiny Māori settlement of Nuhaka, where I stopped at the Kahungunu Marae. I was sitting in my car admiring it from outside, when the marae caretaker, a lovely old kuia called Cairo Otene tapped on my window and invited me in for a guided tour and a little photography. That was special encounter. You can read about both of these in more depth in my Meet the People series at Maori Lifestyles. Just enter Meet the People into the blog index for easy access.

Capture: Ngāi Tahu, in reply to Grant McDougall,
I adore the East Cape region and on my last visit had two very memorable encounters. The first was at the exquisite Tikitiki Church, at Tikitiki, where, early in the morning, I met the minister, William Pepere (Ngāti Porou), who showed me around this masterpiece of Māori carving.

And exciting times at Tuahiwi Marae too - what will the upcoming building of their new wharenui. Sad to see the old hall demolished but it will be exciting to see what takes its place. I love the way the school and the marae (across the road from each other) interact at Tuahiwi.

I know the calendars you mean - stunning! Unfortunately not. They were produced by Strategy Design and I can't recall the photographer they used.

Capture: Ngāi Tahu, in reply to Danielle,
Thanks for the comment Danielle - Murihiku Marae is in a beautiful spot but I chose this kaimoana-gathering shot to represent the marae instead of the marae itself because there was such a gorgeous sky that day and Mahinga Kai practices are so important to Ngāi Tahu as an iwi.

Capture: Ngāi Tahu, in reply to Just thinking,
Rūaumoko is a little quieter these past few weeks & life goes on at Rapaki. There's been plenty of damage of course, although the new marae itself stood up pretty well It's a wee bit nervewracking when you're over there though, and look up and see all the monstrous boulders on the hills above the village.

While Doug's original selection of images are wonderful, I also like the way these Capture comments columns are developing - the diverse responses the images are creating, the lateral tangents that the comments take as (in this case) they twist and turn through moko, spiders, dogs, graffiti, typography and more...... demonstrating once again (as if we ever needed proof) that we all read imagery according to our own experience and knowledge of the original subject. There's something wonderfully 'voyueristic' about it all that I love.... little offered-up glimpses into peoples' lives....... keep it coming!

Capture: Christchurch: Last One Standing, in reply to Robyn Gallagher,
Thanks Robyn. The croquet green shot at Sumner is one of my favourites too. For me it somehow captures the enormity of this whole earthquake business - the croquet green a quiet, unhurried, peaceful metaphor for the city prior to September 4, 2010, suddenly brutalised by falling buildings, crashing rocks and collapsing hillsides.
