I grew up on a farm surrounded by cattle. A hairdressing friend of mine once said, "Have you ever noticed a cow's hairstyle?". It was this very comment that shaped the destiny of 'Cows of a Past Life'. With camera in hand, walking around farms of the Wairarapa, something became apparent. Not only did Cows have the most extraordinary hairstyles, I started seeing them as human characters. "He looks like a Robert Remington-Smyth, fake Barrister, and that has to be Helen Grace, NZ War Heroine" and so on.I became so captivated by these Cows, I wrote their 'past life', as if they were human. These comical yet fascinating stories are based on actual events. Names have been changed to protect the innocent, or guilty as the case may be.
