Mystery photographer of Dunedin street identity revealed

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 29 October 2024

Last year we featured a story on the show about well-known Dunedin street identity Allan Adams.

An anonymous photographer had taken a photo of Allan and then gifted the image to a gallery to auction off, with proceeds to go to Allan. A second copy of the photo was gifted to Allan Adams himself. 

Sadly Allan passed away recently. We can now reveal for the first time, that person who took that photo was James Mitchell.
