The stockings were crocheted by Joanne Ruscoe, a friend of the doctors. ‘‘Toddlers and young children love them and become engrossed almost immediately as they explore them with their little fingers,’’ she said. ‘‘They consume the small slab of chocolate and still have the stocking to put little treasures in.’’ Pictured: Ella Douglas, 3, and Kapiti Youth Support doctor Sue Wilson.

A freelance photographer has captured Kapiti Island by creating a mega-landscape made from thousands of photos of the island contributed by Kapiti people. Murray Short has unveiled The People’s Kapiti Island,an 8.2-metre-long ’’collaborative photograph’’ comprising 1200 original contributed photos, some replicated up to 70 times, joined into a complete image. Inspiration for the work, the length of a bus, came from the likes of Auckland installation art- ist Tiffany Singh, and British art- ist David Hockney. Hockney, Short said, had declared that the Grand Canyon could not be photographed because of its size and grandeur. Short felt the same could be true of the island. He said his first emotion when Murray Short and his completed collaborative photograph of Kapiti Island, taking up the entire wall of Hightide cafe, at Paraparaumu Beach. the picture went up on the wall of a local cafe was relief that the ‘‘Then there was files. ment, personal input,’’ Short said.
