Description
Peter Peryer
Jervois Road, Herne Bay
gelatin silver print
title inscribed, signed and dated 1/5/00 verso
180 x 178mm
Illustrated: Peter Simpson, Peter Peryer: Photographer (Auckland University Press, 2008), pl. 74.
I took this photo in about 1989. It’s Jervois Road in Auckland, where Ponsonby meets Herne Bay, where Curran Street leads to the Harbour Bridge. Although it wasn’t the reason I took the photo, I do notice the shape of Jervois Rd reminds me of NZ. The neatness of the rows of houses is also very interesting to me. Twice I chartered a small plane, with pilot, to fly me over some parts of Auckland. By having him fly as slowly as possible, and by bracing myself against the wind I was able to put my camera out the window and take some images. I don’t think that I’ve ever published this one. At the time I thought how much they reminded me of the Whites Aviation images that were such a feature of walls when I was young. — Peter Peryer
