Party in Piha is an exhibition of photographs by 97-year-old Titirangi photographer, Arne Loot, which document the legendary full-moon beach parties that took place in the coastal settlement of Piha in the 1960s. Created from a series of original proof sheets that Loot used to make for young party-host, Brian Rainger, these striking portraits and memorable scenes of party guests are today lasting documents of an innocent time.
