The Bubbles of Paekakariki: Bob Zuur
May 27, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
“I am a people and places photographer from Paekakariki. I was the school photographer at high school taking photos for the school newspaper and magazines. I was diverted into being a marine biologist for much my career, but a few years ago I decided to make my photographic passion into my job. This can be a risky thing to do, but the passion continues unabated!
I love nature photography, from macro through to landscape astrophotography. I enjoy people photography, especially portraits of people in their environment. In these times of digital overload, I consider that photographers have an important role in documenting this rapidly changing world in a way that lifts their photos above the chaff of cellphone images.
So when we entered into lockdown just over a year ago, I felt it was important to record what this meant for my village of Paekakariki. I ended up photographing over 10% of the village in 55 “bubbles”. This led to two exhibitions and a book. And its about this project that I will speak.’
