What They're Saying
Critics Review
The photographs in The South Island of New Zealand From the Road are not just images stolen away. Like good and sensitive photographs should, they are bringing us news. They record relationships as much as places, people and things.
– Hamish KeithMassey makes the best illustrated books in New Zealand and has produced another gorgeous piece of publishing. It’s a museum piece, clean and elegant

Robin Morrison
Robin Morrison (1944–1993) was one of New Zealand‘s most significant documentary photographers, best known for his portrayal of the New Zealand countryside, everyday life and vernacular architecture. His images of the occupation of Takaparawha Bastion Point and the 1981 Springbok Tour are among some of the most important in our photo documentary history. He was the photographer behind several books in collaboration with noted writers, including Michael King and Keri Hulme.
