Major corporates and even representatives of the Kiingitanga have made approaches about the images - many of iconic moments in the history of Aotearoa. The Photojournalism New Zealand Charity Auction is the brainchild of former New Zealand Herald picture editor Rob Tucker, who has terminal cancer. Harman, another former Herald picture editor, remembers thinking at the time he had captured a great shot. The Photojournalism NZ Charity Auction, which has added a Ross Land portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to the catalogue, is being held at the Plymouth International Hotel in New Plymouth this afternoon at 5pm.
