Fantastic!
This shot is actually of three Maori lads, off the North Island of New
Zealand, so technically, it falls within the Polynesian cultural area
of Oceania. Nevertheless, a real gem. I love stuff close to home.
I used to have some very nice black and white pictures of Maori youth
... there's one of three boys, all nude on the edge of a bathing pool,
really mugging it up. Beneath the picture, the photographer etched
the caption, "You Like Haka?" That refers to the traditional war
dance/greeting dance of the Maori people. I lost that picture and
should very much like to have it back again, if ANYONE has ever seen
it!
Thanks again for this classic composition.
