Edge of the Frame: DON’T PEEK NOW..

We often capture strangers in photos we take in public. Open your photo library, and stop at the first picture that feature a person you don’t know. Now tell the story of that person.

Three years ago, I traveled to New Zealand to see the famed beauty of its natural landscapes, and in particular, to experience one of the country’s best day-walk at the Tongariro National Park.

The visit was, in one word, phenomenal. The Tongariro NatPark certainly did not disappoint. The view it has to offer was everything I had imagined it to be — rugged, pristine and breathtaking.

But what about these guys…? What’s their story?

Well, one thing’s for sure, they were the last thing I had expected to see. I mean, I’ve heard of a nudist beach, but here, in the middle of a volcano crater?! Come on dudes, cover that thing up!

When I saw this happy camper group going about au naturel mingling some with the other trekkers, the first thing that crossed my mind was — they’d better not be the park rangers. There weren’t exactly Greek God material either, as far as I had dared to look.

But what do I know — I’m just an Asian. Heh.

Thanks for dropping by 🙂
