  • My dad used to be an Amateur Boxer
  • My Mum used to work in a Factory called Cerebos in East Tamaki

  • They both got married in Samoa (before I was even Born)
  • They both don't work anymore because they are both disabled and are on sick benefits

How am I going to take the photo of my community?


Photographer: Edith Amituanai

As i was doing some research on a group of artists this artist (Edith Amituanai) gave me an idea on how to take a photo of my parents. This photo below is a photo of my parents back in 2007 and this photo is sort of similar to Edith Amituanai's photo.
