Birgit Krippner Photography
“On March 8th 2014, we had an early start. I was invited to stay at the local Marae, when time came to wake up. At 4am we arrived in Tāneatua for the opening of Tūhoe’s new building, Te Kura Whare. That day became memorable for me on different levels, and the photos will live - for generations to come.”
