BY BETHANY ROLSTON

A man who adored nature in the Waipa district is being honoured in an exhibition at the Te Awamutu Library. Through His Eyes showcases the work of well-known Te Awa- mutu photographer Phil Brown. One year after his death, his family, with Waipa District Council, has compiled an exhibition of his photographs. Phil’s youngest daughter Jo Curry says the photos highlight her father’s fascination with Waipa’s nature. Phil developed a passion for photography in his early 20s and spent the next 40 TC230118BR07 years honing his skills. PHIL BROWN’S daughter Jo Curry and her son Fynn.

BY BETHANY ROLSTON

A (not very) long time ago in a town (not very) far away children and film industry professionals created something out of this world at a Star Wars-themed arts workshop. The holiday programme, run by Cambridge’s Ignite Arts Acad- emy, took over Cambridge High School for five days last week. Special guest Weta Workshop model maker Alex Falkner helped the children create lightsabers, blaster guns and the famous Millennium Falcon TC230118BR06 starship.
