Robin is a photographer and film-maker and he's the son of well-known Anglican Minister, Bishop Muru Walters. Sam is also a photographer and together they've produced a hardback book with detailed shots of carvings, panels in the meeting houses, the interiors and the exteriors.
They've captured the huge variety of architecture at marae thorughout the country, the more ornate meeting houses, and some that are not so intricate. There are stories from a range of characters they’ve met during their travels.
