CYCLONE GABRIELLE Documentary Photography Final Episode...for now.
On February 14th 2023 Ex Tropical cyclone Gabrielle hit our region with deadly, destructive and devastating fury. Rivers burst their banks, bridges were washed away, lives were lost, homes and businesses destroyed. Now the 12th of April 2023 the region is slowing showing signs of recovery. A massive amount of work has been done but much more is still to be done. Since Valentines day we, as a newspaper Hawke's Bay Today, have pulled out all the stops to get the news that people need and the stories that people wanted to tell and people wanted to read. I'm Incredibly proud of our Newsrooms efforts, the whole editorial team have gone way above and beyond what anyone could ask. As one half of our two man Photography / Visuals team I am so proud of the work myself and Chief Photographer Warren Buckland produced throughout this natural disaster and it's aftermath. Personally It's been a privilege to be out and about all over our region documenting this time in history. Much of the scenes I came across have been harrowing to say the least, sometimes they were uplifting, like the old couple without power or heating who resorted to toasting their bread with candles, and the lad who walked over a damaged rail bridge having to navigate his way past trees and timber that covered the bridge, all the while carrying a crate of beer on his broad shoulders to give to a stranded mate over the river, priceless effort. This maybe the last episode in this series, for now at least. With a National disaster on such a massive scale, I hope these Images have given a glimpse of what our region has and is still enduring. Kia Haha Hawke's Bay.
Regards Paul
