We have two copies of Hometown New Zealand, by Derek Smith, courtesy of Craig Potton Publishing up for grabs this week. This is a great slice of life in New Zealand, and could even be stashed for a Father's Day gift.
Derek Smith has spent most of his working life working as a meter reader, a deliberate choice of occupation, as it has allowed him to pursue his vocation as a photographer. Inspired by the social documentary style of photographers such as Walker Evans and William Eggleston, and closer to home Robin Morrision and Les Cleveland, he set out 30 years ago to actively record details of the cities, suburbs, small towns and rural areas he was visiting in the course of his work.
