Harmen creates the Elephant

I just came across this old photo Taken By Arno Gestieger photographer for New Zealand Geographic Magazine.

My family had been part of the focus of an article called "The Invisible Immigrants" by Journalist Yvonne van Dongen. The article features in New Zealand Geographic: Number 15
July - September 1992.
Arno Sought me out at work to take photographs whilst I was at the end of an arduous project building an educational display model of an Asian Elephant for the Auckland Zoo.

I was exhausted after working 36 hours without sleep to meet the production deadline.
