A Film Legacy

[janrzm]

Some time ago I acquired a set of Leica equipment and subsequently stumbled upon the work of a deceased doctor and amateur photographer from New Zealand called Roland G Phillips-Turner who in the 1950′s and 60′s travelled around remote regions of New Zealand’s North Island doing medical research and documenting his travels.

Here is the post - http://aperturepriority.co.nz/2012/11/06/a-film-legacy-pt-1/

New Zealand with a Hasselblad and Slide film. Fantastic.

The sentiment regarding archival quality and future discovery is well made. Good post.

Thanks, as well as being an exciting discovery this really made me think about the longevity of our images.

There is something compelling about these. Thanks for publishing them and thanks for posting here.

Have you had any interest from people in/from the area in the photos?

I agree, I see them as compelling also.

I have had some emails regarding the images, I'm slowly gathering snippets of information from the family as they recall things. In the new year if I have enough to go on I will retrace some of this journey with the owners M5 and my Blad....

Thanks again.

Jason.

Have a been to a number of those places in recent years and interesting to see what it looked like all those years ago. I shot film in most of them as well. Will have film archives available to my kids and their kids at last.
