I wanted to come back to documentary photography once more and just say, never stop watching. For me, it's a little like hunting ... perhaps.
I don't go in with a plan beyond the attempt to capture the story. To tell it true. I picked up a 3-day documentary shoot, over on Flanders Fields, working with the New Zealanders a few years ago.
The image that follows is one of my favourites and I have to confess, it really was about swinging round and capturing this exquisite moment without thinking too much about settings. A hongi ... a Maori greeting, was being exchanged.
I had been traveling in France with the New Zealand veterans the day before and so they knew me a little. The New Zealand London Rugby Club were playing a commemoration match in Zonnebeke.
Moments like these make documentary photography a big love of mine ...
