This epub documents the first series of photographic works exhibited by Lloyd Godman in 1983. The black and white images still present a graphic and stark picture of the environment we live in and our affect upon it. It acts as a start to his many environmental projects, like The Last River Song, Secrets of the Forgotten Tapu that soon followed

Using a time-consuming photo montage process, where failure is a large part of success, the images were carefully created from an assortment of negative film frames in a darkroom with enlargers and chemicals. These complex montaged photographs explore the bird motif and lay a foundation for the wide range of environmental projects that Godman latter pursued.

It traces his love of surfing and its culture from a thirteen-year-old grom in the cold waters on southern New Zealand to an interest he retains today in his 70s where he pay regular visits to URBN SURF wave machine, and how the creative nature of surfing influenced him.
