Laurence Aberhart has been at the forefront of New Zealand photography since the late 1970’s, and is recognized as a major international figure. Like the paintings of Colin McCahon – an artist whom Aberhart is frequently paired – his photographs are a sustained meditation on time, place and cultural history.

Those are amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Most unfortunate if you missed his exhibition that City Gallery put on in 2007. In some of Aberhart’s works he would use a 100 year old viewing camera in which he would have to expose for hours at a time and when it would come for time to print, each individual contact would take even longer. However the paper for this format did go out of production in 1960’s… I truly appreciate Aberhart’s time consuming efforts. It is interesting in what you decided to post though, as he had a real thing for symmetry which you don’t really get to grasp effortlessly in the few above.
