“Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!”.

Recently I got out under the stars with my good friend Larryn (Shadow & Shade). He helped me guess some settings on my Hasselblad; we had chippies, ginger beer, and good chats; and in the dead of the night we sat in deep, reverent silence while looking up at the stars.

It’s been over 3 weeks since I visited Ihumātao and my stomach is still churning every day, my mind trying to hold steady as the waves of love, pride, grief, and anger crash into each other and threaten to tip me off balance - as I sit in my office chair and attempt to write emails and answer phone calls.
