Had the chance to talk about my exhibition Puaki, on TV in the USA with KNWA, prior to doing a webinar with the Photographic Society of Northwest Arkansas - PSNWA

Michael Bradley talks about his “Puaki” exhibit of the Māori People’s facial tattoos and how it has garnered international acclaim.

Would love to hear what you think of the exhibition.

In June I am moving my butt for Bowel Cancer New Zealand

As some of you know my wonderful wife Mary was diagnosed with bowel cancer not long after our first son was born in 2007. She was one of the lucky ones who went on to beat it and with the help of a number of amazing people, founded the charity Bowel Cancer NZ.

I want to help bring awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer and also hopefully raise a couple of dollars for this charity which is extremely close to my heart.

So in June I am looking to run/walk/crawl 200km, which will include a half marathon at the end of the month.
Let's hope my chicken legs and my one pair of running shoes make it. While I shoot a lot of sport, between Y2K-2019 I think I may have run to the letterbox and back a couple of times, but not much more. 🤣 So this will be an interesting challenge.

I appreciate this may not be the best time for many people to donate as things are tough, so in this case please go along to Bowel Cancer New Zealand and give them a like.
If you do have a couple of spare dollars I would really appreciate if you could donate to my page. 🙏

I've created this page because I want to make a difference and Mary made me. Oh and I'm doing a bit of lockdown running anyway and it's probably about time I supported Bowel Cancer NZ again. As most of you will know Mary was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer 13 years ago but we're grateful that sh...

Here is a collection of some of my underwater/wave photography. I usually only post to my Instagram page so was about time I shared on my page.

It's something that I love to do when I get some time at the beach. Creatively if find it incredibly rewarding.

I may even look at selling these as prints at some stage in the future.

The Netball New Zealand community has been extremely good to me over the past number of years, nearly 20 but who's counting.

So time to give something very small back - FREE PHOTOS while I have a lot of time on my hands.

I wanted to share some links of Age Group Netball - U17,U19's, NZSS, Mens netball, Nationals from back in the day. Feel free to have a look over many years of age group and mens and mixed netball.

If you find a picture of yourself or a friend please like this post and comment below with the image number and I will send that photo to you or your friend, without the watermark on it.

Also feel free to share this post to anyone who I may have taken a photo of over the past number of years.

Some really exciting and somewhat unexpected news about my project Puaki. It is now featured across 10 pages in a recent School Journal, which goes out to all schools in NZ.
After talking to the people involved in Puaki, it got the go ahead and features portraits and extracts from my video interviews. I'm really excited to share these stories with intermediate Kiwi kids, so they can learn some of the history and mana behind the tā moko.

For those not aware, back in mid 2018 I had the opening to my exhibition Puaki at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds museum. It was an amazing experience and was the chance to share a project that I had been working on for nearly 4 years.

It's been slow going but I now have a couple of really exciting opportunities coming up for late 2020 and early 2021. Stay tuned but if you know of any galleries and/or museums that maybe interested please hit me up, certainly room for more. www.puaki.com
