‘Masterton and Me’ – interview

leave a comment »

I’ve just interviewed Anna Rutherford about her ‘Masterton and Me’ project for the PhotoForum website.

Anna’s work is currently showing at Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History.

 

La Donna
Podiatrist
November 2018
Living and working in the Wairarapa, for the people of the Wairarapa.
In 2008 my family and I came to Masterton from Birmingham in the UK. It was advertised as “Green and beautiful rural life… friendly and welcoming.” Masterton has lived up to that advert.
I have a podiatry business in town and have been blessed with the love of my patients. I could live anywhere in NZ. But I choose Masterton.
