Moko

Click on photos for larger view I have been emailed from overseas asking if I have any photos of Maori moko. Well, yes I will have many but these two are interesting. Hawera 1982 on a film set. I asked if I could wander around and take photos. The man above only has a half face moko. I wonder if this is traditional or they were shooting him from one side only? They must have spent hours in make up. I love the photos because it reflects an innocent time, before guards at the gates would have chased me away. Imagine trying to walk onto a film set these days? I'll show some more soon.
