Hori's Page

Amongst the staunch friends of "Photo News" up the East Coast is one Hori Karaka Tamihana, also known as George Thompson, also by his adopted title of "The Roving Hori". Hailing from Tolaga Bay Hori is a handy man with a camera and a picture album, and every time he comes to Gisborne he also comes to "Photo News" with an armload of pictures.

We appreciate Hori's enthusiasm for "Photo News", and we are sure East Coasters welcome his pictures

Hori, by the way, is to represent the Te-Tanga-Hauiti tribe at the opening of the new Auckland Harbour Bridge, and while in Auckland will visit Waiheke Island, the home of his ancestors.
