Eric Lee-Johnson’s Opo series is a landmark photo-essay. It illustrates the life of Opo, a dolphin who frequented Hokianga Harbour. During the summer of 1955–6, Lee-Johnson documented the ways locals and visitors interacted with the friendly dolphin and how Opo changed Opononi’s summertime beach culture. Such was Opo’s popularity, traffic jams occurred at this quiet seaside village during the weekends.See more detail about this artwork
