Theme of the book
From the introduction on page 4...
“The language of a photograph doesn't require it to contain written words - but sometimes they happen to be there. Such words have found their way into many of my pictures.
Sometimes the words aren’t very prominent, yet are a relevant part of the visual information as I see it. Sometimes they are more prominent and a very important aspect of the picture.
At other times, the words were the very reason I made the picture.
These photos span more than 50 years. Those from before 2001 were captured on either black and white or colour slide film. More recent images are from digital cameras, except for the one on page 39.
All are from here in New Zealand, and all contain at least one written word.”
