i finally found this photo! been hunting for it since he died, wanting to see a picture of him looking healthy and happy. it's at his property at hapuku. hapuku just happens to be where michelle and i did our figure drawing workshop a week or two back. i'd planned on visiting him, been saying i would for years, but i was too late. by a week.
i love this photo so much, he sent it to me just before i went on my big adventure to australia when i was 18. he was always so supportive of adventure... if what you're doing doesn't make you happy, do something else. he was all for grabbing life by the horns (or trotters in this case) and trying new things, getting the best out of life.
such a shame his was so short.
