Five months
in New Zealand.

Hal Eisen spent the Southern-Hemisphere summer of 2002–2003 roaming Aotearoa — based in Orewa, north of Auckland, with side trips to the South Island, Sydney, and one week crewing a friend's boat part of the way home. Thirty-four dispatches and seven hundred photographs, shot on one two-megapixel camera and lost for twenty years — now recovered.
