Erika Parkinson, to whom I was married at the time, said to me one day that she had met a woman with a very interesting face and perhaps she would be a good subject for a portrait. Upon meeting her I agreed, and Donna Yuzwalk very kindly volunteered to sit for me, although sit seems a rather strange word to use in this case. So here Donna is, standing in front of a river in Kaukapakapa. Why a river? Well, for some reason I was going through a phase where I was hoping to take photos to illustrate some of the poems that I had learnt by heart as a schoolboy. In this case you are looking at ‘The Lady of Shalott’ by Alfred Tennyson. — Peter Peryer
