In the 1980s photographer Peter Black captured the face of former television quizmaster Selwyn Toogood on a television in a Wairarapa fish-and-chip shop. For over 30 years Peter Black has been one of New Zealand’s foremost documentary photographers, and his work provides a powerful record of the pace of everyday life.
