Showing 81-90 of 147 matches for Punanga Nui (tag).
29 Dec 2012 Combating the strong wind gusts, and shower-proofing the booth made for a later start for us this morning. Once up-and-running, we took some sweet strips and pix. Family portraits, hot couples, and extended sessions for some of our regular boothers kept us humming. ‘Tongareva’ – our vibrant island-print purple backdrop – was the perfect accent to our new and refreshed ei katu.
A big meitaki ma'ata to everyone who rocked the booth in ’12, we look forward to seeing you in the new year.

22 Dec 2012 Our final Christmas session for 2012, just in time for junior boothers looking for Saturday morning distraction. The girls were throwing down some fierce model poses, with 10-gallon hats and trilbies the props-of-choice. We had fresh faces in the booth as Kukis come home for the Dec-Jan family reunion season. We also debuted our new fashion forward Xmas ei katu; and traded a blow-up for a sparkly blue santa hat.

15 Dec 2012 Humidity down at the market today almost resulted in ‘Island Booth unplugged’. Meitaki ma‘ata to our boothers for waiting patiently while we battled techno gremlins.
It’s the time of year where people coming-and-going: visiting family; taking a holiday break; or saying a final farewell before leaving the Rock – all great reasons for getting a pic.

8 Dec 2012 More Christmas mayhem at the market today. Gusts of up to 60km were predicted – and we were kept busy retrieving photo bags and errant antlers for most of the morning. Folks stopped by for pix-as-gifts, and our range of new Picture Paradise photo frames proved popular too. The accessory of the day was the sparkling Xmas trilby. A few noothers picked up IB loyalty cards – ask for yours next time you rock the booth.

5 Dec 2012 A new location for the annual Rotaract Christmas celebrations this year, with Punanga Nui standing in for the BCI Stadium. This year’s theme was red-and-white, and boothers rose to the challenge with great costumes, pareu, hair peices and face paint. We came to the party with our Christmas props-box, including new sparkling trilby hats, elf caps and extra reindeer noses (thanks Ine)…

5 Dec 2012 …From our location near the band rotunda (old stage), we could see the corner of the new stage. Rotaract and Andersons did a great job with the decorations, lighting, and sound; and the night’s performers kept the crowd singing and dancing.
We had plans to explore the rest of the market, maybe grab a Kai Pizza, but boothers had other ideas ;). It was awesome to see familiar faces come update their booth-folio, commemorate a reunion, or take a family Christmas portrait. The night ended with a bang with a dazzling fireworks display.
Meitaki ma‘ata to Rotaract members and the volunteers - nice!

1 Dec 2012 With Netball in Paradise starting next week, we had a few teams down at the market taking in the sights and sounds. The Mauke Team demonstrated some early coordination skills, with an (almost) full team shot. Inbetween visits from clan Flanagan, we also took pix for Kukis returning home for Christmas, friends chillin’ post exams; and some fairies, spiderman,a wampire, reindeer and St. Nick catching some rays before the big day.

24 Nov 2012 We thought it was hot last week – but it was nothing on the market this morning. We borrowed our own rito fans to keep cool out front, and ramped up the booth air conditioning for that 80s, music-video wind-machine look.
Vaka Eiva is underway, and we had a few paddlers take team pix. Regular boothers were back working on new looks, and visiting family, fresh from the plane took their ‘before’ shots. Elsewhere in the market, lychees and pineapple are now in season – mighty nice on ice :).

17 Nov 2012 It’s heating up at the market - fortunately the booth is ‘air-conditioned for your comfort’. There was a full range of pix this week - from visiting family members, painted-faces, BFFs, wedding couples, and group shots - through to divas, messages home, spring romance, and solos. We even helped a documentary crew with some last minute gifts. All in a morning’s work ;).

3 Nov 2012 Our recent call, to ‘get your booth on’, has kicked the market into festive mode! Visiting cousins, friends and family are making their way to see us for a fun pic. At this time of year we also welcome back boothers returning to the Rock for the Christmas-New Year break. We took some great solo strips and group shots today with our new fan keeping things nice and cool. We’lre also stoked to have visitors to the island make us part of their itinerary. Meitaki maata. :)
