Description:
Auckland: Godwit, 2004. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. A very clean copy, faint crease in the front cover. Signed by John Daley. "Arriving in Wellington on the overnight express from Frankton, a clear morning and that incomparable view across Port Nicholson as you emerge from the tunnel. My first big city, my first real job. Wellington, and the people within, were unknown to me and the possibilities for adventure seemed limitless." Through his 18 years of growing up in many New Zealand small towns, John Daley was fascinated by people in very much the way an entomologist is fascinated by insects in jars. He was seriously ready for a taste of the 'big smoke'.

[6], vi,118, [1], vi (index), [2 (blank)] pages. Card covers with flaps. Page dimensions: 266 x 236mm. Black and white photographic illustrations of people in Auckland and Wellington in the 1960s and 1970s, mainly in downtown areas e.g Queen St, Karangahape Road, Courtenay Place. "The photographing of city people, now entitled 'Big Smoke', came of Daley's curiosity about the inhabitants of Wellington and spread at holiday breaks to Auckland. Every available hour was spent walking the streets with his Pentax. People generally didn't know they were being photographed and he became adept at looking nonchalantly in other directions as he worked. This glimpse of Wellington and Auckland from the 1960s and 1970s confirms, for the 'people photographer', intuition is still the most powerful tool,…
