I Loved You the Moment I Saw You cover

With more than 80 brilliant, disturbing, and compassionate images, this collection composes one of the great photographic portraits of this generation. Crisscrossing a complex urban landscape of Wellington in New Zealand, the artist demonstrates his love for the tender, sad, and often humorous details of life lived moment by moment on the streets of his hometown. The pictures reflect the years the author spent exploring the city, creating a definitive depiction of the famed capital. Typified by quirky observation and a rapid narrative, this endearing photographic essay captures the heart of New Zealand.

Looking at [these] photographs . . . has alerted me to this: the different ways in which perception is situated and to the laminated or layered times it takes to take that in—to be moved, to be in love, and in 'the moment.'" — Ian Wedde, author, The Viewing Platform
