![The black-and-white photograph captures a formal gathering outside of a traditional wooden building, which features elaborate carvings on its exterior. The architectural style suggests Maori influence, indicative of New Zealand's indigenous culture.
A group of people is standing and socializing in front of the structure; men are mostly wearing suits or overcoats, while women wear dresses with hats, typical attire for a formal event during mid-20th-century times. In the center stands an elderly man, possibly addressing the attendees, which suggests he may be of significance.
There is no visible modern technology such as cameras or smartphones in people's hands; this reinforces the historical context of the image. The photograph appears to have been taken from a slight angle and at eye level with most subjects, creating an engaging yet objective perspective on the scene unfolding before it.
The title provided for this photo indicates that Queen Elizabeth II visited Waitangi, which is significant as Waitangi Day commemorates when Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840. This event likely ties into a royal visit to New Zealand during her reign, with Prince Philip being present also signifies the importance and ceremonial nature of the occasion.

Ruatoki, 1963
Large group of men, most of them Maori, sitting on a riverbank beneath a tree. Several of them are smoking cigarettes. Several bundles of eels are hanging from branches of the tree.

![This black and white photograph captures a moment between two individuals who appear to be part of the same cultural or traditional event. The foreground features an individual adorned with elaborate jewelry, including large earrings, headpieces, and necklaces that sparkle with numerous reflective elements. This person is wearing what seems like a costume embellished with floral patterns in shades of pink, white, and green.
The attire suggests a level of performance artistry, possibly associated with drag culture or theater where individuals adopt glamorous personas for entertainment purposes. The facial makeup is dramatic, featuring exaggerated features typical of such performances. In one hand, this person holds what appears to be a plate containing flowers.
Behind them stands another individual in contrastingly simpler clothing—a white garment that could resemble traditional attire—holding the same floral-laden plate with their other hand. This second figure has a contemplative or admiring expression on their face and is gazing at the first individual, adding depth to this scene as if observing an act of performance.
The background is dimly lit, focusing attention on the subjects in front. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly within a vehicle like a bus, suggested by what looks like overhead compartments or seats that are faintly visible above and behind them. This detail adds another layer of context about [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/113/998/639/267/300/774/original/da8eaeef86ecd107.jpeg "This black and white photograph captures a moment between two individuals who appear to be part of the same cultural or traditional event.

![The black-and-white photograph captures a group of individuals participating in what appears to be an anti-government protest. Several people are holding up homemade signs with messages such as "Born just to kill? Finesheet," indicating critical or satirical commentary on the Vietnam War and related societal issues like economic reform, welfare rights, education funding during financial crises, and prison industrial complex expansion.
The expressions of those in the photo range from serious contemplation to smiling engagement. The individuals are dressed casually with jackets, sweaters, and casual shirts indicative of a grassroots or spontaneous gathering rather than an organized event by a specific political party or group. Some faces are partially obscured due to angle and perspective within the crowd's depth.
The setting seems to be indoors under artificial lighting as evidenced by shadows cast on the subjects' bodies and the surrounding architecture not clearly visible, suggesting this might have been taken in a warehouse or large industrial space repurposed for protest activities at that time. The overall composition of the image conveys a sense of activism and collective political expression during a period marked by significant social upheaval related to war involvement and domestic policy challenges.
