Brian Brake:Lens on the World

The above exhibition is touring New Zealand from Te Papa, the National Museum in Wellington.  It has just come to Whangarei and will be here until November 1st.

Doug and I went this afternoon and it is well worth a visit.  As well as numerous of his photographs there is also part of a documentary showing him taking photos at some beach races.

Just a couple of photos from the exhibition.

  4. I thought the excerpt from a documentary on Brian Brake well worth watching. It was interesting to see him at work in a crowd.
