Darcy Oishi

My first day in Auckland for this trip and my friend Stan fed me breakfast and then we went to the War Memorial Museum. We saw a cultural display, dancing essentially, and I found it interesting, especially how different the westernization of song and dance differs between Maori and Hawaiian cultures. There were other differences I found interesting. These pictures are of a Maori war canoe or waka. The carving is exquisite and I decided the detail could best be brought out with black and white or sepia tones. This is the result.
