2010 Wairarapa Events Calendar OUT NOW!!! available at selected outlets Nikolaison & Son - Masterton Then and Now Photography by Pete Nikolaison Text by Gareth Winter Published by Pete Nikolaison

Photographer Pete Nikolaison knows the Wairarapa Valley, its coastline ans its ranges as well as he knows the back of his camera. Often shooting from the air, as he does on many of these pages, he has spent a working lifetime capturing the moods, from tempest to tranquility, of this place apart. His familiarity is counter-pointed by novelist Michael Walls commentary. A recent settler here, Wall brings a wry outsider's eye view to rest on both the delights and oddities of the Wairarapa, past and present. Together they take the reader on a rollicking journey around New Zealand's last great-unbeaten track
